Hi all,
Can anyone share their tips on sourcing fonts, I have a specific shape I need for two letters (c and f), I may have to create them in illustrator, but wanted to check if whats out there, so, can anyone give advice on how to find fonts, is it a case of just putting the time in on font sites, I find that I can spend days doing this, there are so many, the categories help to a certain degree.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
maybe rough sketch them and upload a bitmap to "what the font" at myfonts.com
You can try Identifont instead -- not always that accurate, but it can narrow things down a little. It will ask you a series of questions about the face you're looking for, like "Serif or sans?" or "Is the crossbar on the A angled or straight?".
Hi Lee,
do a sketch and throw it to the beasts of the Typophile Type ID Board. ;-)
In addition to the services mentioned above, there’s TypeNavigator by FontShop.
Here’s a good article on finding fonts: http://ilovetypography.com/2007/08/19/identify-that-font/

Thanks for the help, I am currently sketching away :)
