Font rescue!

Around this time of year, lots of people I know (e.g., my clients) are frantically trying to figure out exactly what font it was they used in their marketing materials, so they can update and resize them while maintaining the branding elements they're already using.

If you are one of them, I have good news for you! Two online tools make the task much easier.

Identifont (www.identifont.com) is a system that asks you questions about your font to narrow down the choices. Simple to use and very accurate!

If you have a sample of your font in a small jpeg file, What the Font? (www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/) is even easier to use. Just upload the file, identify the letters in it, and What the Font? does the rest. (Plus, you can easily buy and/or download the font right from myfonts.com once you've found it.)
