What th’ Font?
No, I’m not cussing you out. I’m simply telling you the name of a cool iPhone app called WhatTheFont, that allows you to identify fonts and typefaces using your iPhone camera. It’s a simple app, and even simpler to operate.
See a font you like, but can’t identify it? No problem. Take a picture of it with your trusty iPhone, and WhatTheFont will identify the font in seconds.
How does it Know?
WhatTheFont for iPhone connects directly to MyFonts’ acclaimed font identification service, which has been helping customers pinpoint mystery fonts for 10 years. It works via Wi-Fi or the mobile phone network, so you can get your font fix right there on the spot.
You can download this app for free fromiTunes by clicking HERE. The photgallery below will give you step by step details on how to use the app. Enjoy!
