Hey. Long time listener first time caller.

Can somebody point me to a way or tutorial how i am searching for more "exotic" fonts?

Example:


I tried cutting:



Then i cleaned up the background:



that came already close, but it wasn´t the right font..

Inverted the type:



-> a step back
So in the end i just looked up the .pdf and found the font:



so, how would be the best (or right) way, to handle fonts like that?

Thanks and looking forward to more interesting experiments with the Find my Font

"Exotic" fonts have usually more distinct letters and are easier to match, but sometimes is a bit tricky to select the appropriate
letters.
I selected just the first letter of your image and as you can see the first match in the list is the correct font.

Some rules:

1. Try to select as many details as possible by adding parts of the letter one by one by Ctrl-click
2. There is no need to select ALL details, as long as you select some of
them at the letter image boundaries
3. Adding black background, inverting the image or selecting a much bigger image
of the original letter does not help at all, in fact it destroys the
matching accuracy of Find my Font

I hope that helps a bit!
