DFIND OUT THE FONT PRO

Like many other pro designers, Owen Troy, owner/co-founder of Design des Troy has a veritable “font catalog” in his head. Of course the font-finding websites option may not work for everyone. ‘s Font Finder lets you browse fonts by Styles and Classification. This article on I Love Typography provides several online font ID tools, including What the Font?!, FontShop and my personal favorite, Identifont.

What I found is that the “correct” is a combination of all of these options, with some interesting nuances in everyone’s unique specifics. We’ve all been there, right? That’s why I recently took an informal poll of some fellow designers on how they “find that font.” I asked them: Do you use a font-identifying website? Consult a “go-to” friend? Do you scour a print catalog hoping you find it? Maybe go about ID’ing through your knowledge of font anatomy? The tough part is when you don’t know the font’s name.

You want exactly that font to use in one of your projects.

Maybe it’s an oldie but goodie, or a trendy new font that seems to be showing up just about everywhere. Pretty much every designer has seen a font they love on the web, a billboard, packaging, in a magazine…maybe even in a TV commercial.
