Font says a lot of things about the design as well as the designers. A good design makes a designer famous and a good font makes a design famous. So, as you have seen that there is always a link in both font and good design. So, it is very important to choose the right font at anytime.
Sometime, we squared numerous sites such as Google Web Fonts, DaFont etc. to guess the font that is being used in a brand logo or any webpage or photo. There are also some fonts which are not yet so easy to categorize. For example, check the following image.
When I asked some people the procedure or tool which can create this kind of arrows, they counseled me to use PhotoShop, GIMP or even Paint etc. to create so. But do you know that it is a font? Believe me or download the font right from here.
Though there are more than a few approaches to check the font which is using in any photo or page but it becomes pretty difficult to detect the font that is being used in an image. There are so many methods to ascertain the font but today I am going to show you only one process to do so. This is very easy and not yet so time spender.
