Myfonts.com has a great tool on the website called ‘WhatTheFont’. This is a font identifying tool that works with AI recognition from a link or screenshot uploaded. It’s easy to use and all you have to do is take a screenshot of the area surrounding the font you would like to know, then upload it using the upload button. Once you’ve uploaded it, do a quick check to see that it has the right letters then click the ‘identify’ button. This takes you to a new screen where a selection of fonts will display for you. It rarely ever gives you the exact font you are looking for but it does give you recommendations for extremely close matching fonts. Since there are literally millions of fonts available this can be a handy tool!
