Neat but since I don't have a fruit phone, won't work on my phone.

They have it for Android too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.creativeapps.gather

[pessimism]Yes but they are trying to guide you to their own Typekit library to buy it from them.[/pessimism] :rotf:

I like the title of the app, it's the "Magical" font finder.

WOOHOO!

Sounds like the biggest new font story since "multiple masters".

Brilliant.

Just used identifont.com about 10 minute ago to determine a font. This may have been helpful. Trying it out now...

We wait with bated breath for the result.[footnote]What's the meaning of the phrase 'Bated breath'?
Breathing that is subdued because of some emotion or difficulty.[/footnote]

it *does* work, but not correctly. The font was actually Bellvue, but Capture recommended Paganini, which wasn't correct at all. There were other options, but none of them were Bellvue.

I thought it was baited breath, as if your breath was so bad, it attracts fish.

If you do that, make sure you have a spotter. Don't wanna end up like David Carradine.

I use https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ and https://www.whatfontis.com if I can. They usually do a pretty good job at finding something. The myfonts.com one tends to push towards their fonts like the adobe app but the whatfontis.com one does a pretty good job at looking up free fonts too.

WTF? What the font now available for phones. Won't do much for me and my Samsung flip.

Have used 'what the font' for years, its always been 'mostly' helpful
