The GAB

I had a job the other day that used a typeface I thought I recognized, but for the life of me I couldn't place it. I remembered that MyFonts has this handy little tool called "What the font" that can help you figure out what font you're looking at. All I had to do was take a screen shot (Command-3) open it in Preview and crop the just to the words I wanted (You need to keep the image - jpg is best - to only a few items so the scanning software can pick out the letters easily). Then I uploaded my jpg to What the font, and it scanned the image, split it into separate letters and then asked me to identify the letters. Click Search, and in just seconds, I got my result. A really neat tool.
