I always thought that lettering is painted on city streets using big stencils. I was shocked when I saw the following video. The level of precision and artistry these craftsmen posses is surprising.
This video is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates typography and the craftsmanship that goes into the creation of hand drawn signs.
Daniel Britton created the “Dyslexic Typeface” while studying at The London College of Communication. A graphic designer diagnosed as dyslexic and realising that his friends and teachers couldn't appreciate what it meant, he is now using his creative talents to create greater awareness and empathy for those with dyslexia.
To do this he created a font in which he removed about half of each letter and made it intentionally difficult to read.
Last week we had a request on our Forum to help identify the font used in a complex (deformed) image.
Although Jim has been using Find my Font for quite some time now, he couldn't figure out how to identify the font in the following image.
This post serves as a tutorial on how to use the Image Correction and Deformation tool to prepare the complex image for proper letter selection and font identification.

It took us a lot of time and many developers but we finally did it. Our online font database now includes more than 125,000 unique typefaces. At the same time we reduced the average online matching speed to less than 3 seconds. What this means for you is that you will be able to identify almost any font in existence and you will do it faster than ever.
Here's how we did it.
Well, we finally got around to it.
We've wanted to do it for ages but somehow never managed to put fingers-to-keyboard until now....
So, drum-roll please... welcome to the Find my Font Blog.
