Featured App: What the Font
It’s time for another fun “featured app” review. I kicked the series off with a review of Diptic (herein case you missed it). Today’s app has a clever name that is easy to remember: “What the Font”. A little sassy, sure.
Name of app:
What the Font
How I heard about it:
Mandi and Sarah Katherine of the Columbia CVB – some of the nicest and most knowledgeable gals you’ll ever meet.
About the app:
What the Font helps you identify the fonts used on just about anything. All you have to do is snap a picture of the unknown font and upload it via your iPhone. The app then searches its database (powered by myfonts.com) and returns a variety of matches.

What I love most:
All the time I’m saving! And being able to snap photos of “old” printed pieces (even records) with a good chance their handy system will find a close match!
Cost of app:
Free (at the time of this post). Look for it in the App store.
Not an iPhone user?
Not to worry. You can also upload your photo to their website and get a free analysis here.
Tell them how much you love it by tweeting @myfonts. While you’re there, be sure to follow me, @lauracatherineo.
