Not Sure Which Typeface That Is?
I’ve had a few situations where I’ve been given some existing artwork and needed to figure out what typeface was used in it. This used to be a really laborious task, but, I came across a really cool service called Identifont a few years ago which made life a lot simpler.
Identifont is the largest independent directory of typefaces on the
Internet. It provides a range of features to help you locate fonts or
find information about fonts.
When you use the tool, make sure you have the text visible, because it asks some detailed questions about the key characteristics of the typeface.

http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont is a good one too that lets you upload an image of your font that it tries to identify.
Tara makes a great suggestion too. I’ve used the myfonts one before and it’s normally pretty fast.
Thanks for both of these, guys. Incredibly useful.
