I'm not your usual Typophilian who knows what it's all about.
Each font is basically a unique design, so the goal here is to match what you have (a picture) to what I have (a font). I cheat and use software which compare the two. If I have a font, it will match. If I don't, it won't. No knowledge needed. Just load a picture, turn the crank and see what pops out.
