I ran through the online font identifier tools just a few days ago, doing a React exercise for a credit card component (dress it up with CSS!). I used Snipping Tool to take an image of the PDF image, and went looking for the font: https://www.dropbox.com/s/erd4nuoavxun2rr/BigBankFont.PNG?dl... I googled for free online font identification, and started testing. WhatTheFont completely chokes and returns zero candidates, even after moving the dot and the lower i into one glyph, identifying glyphs, etc. Next up, FontSquirrel Matcherator, which initially failed, though it at least showed candidates. I noticed that the FontSquirrel button was not on, so I clicked it and retested. At the top of the results was Fira Sans, oddly without any sample of the font. (hiding in plain site?) And it is Fira Sans, available on Google fonts. Font Squirrel uses the FontSpring Matcherator, so I tested at their site, and failed. No extra options to turn on to find Fira Sans. Font Squirrel is now my favorite font site. And where is the site that runs these engines through all the Google fonts to see who is honest? |
