Whenever I need to recreate a document from physical media in word, I can rely on one of three fonts, Calibri, Arial and Times New Roman, 95% of the time, it's one of those three.

I've also tried online font recognition services for the most part, they all try to match it to some paid font on some website that likely sponsors the service, even something as simple as Arial is recognized as $200 fonts, I get that they look alike but I find it bizarre how all the sites I've tried over the years always push a few dozen paid fonts in my face rather than tell me what the font's name is.
