About Identifont

Identifont is a web-based font search tool. Its main job is to help users identify a typeface from its appearance or find a font when they know its name, a similar font, a picture or symbol it contains, or its designer or publisher. The homepage describes an appearance-based search that asks questions about key features, such as whether the characters have serifs (spikes or slabs on the ends of strokes) and whether the font has a limited set of letters.

The site offers several separate search methods, so users can start from whichever detail they have. The homepage does not state whether any part of the service requires payment, so pricing is unknown.
