We see a lot of creators, artists and writers today. There are so many new fields of works available, we can literally stay home and earn up something using our talents and smartness when we have the technology. In that case, when we go to do an advertisement or write any article we have to not only chose the right words but also have to be very careful with the fonts we use. As we see how most of the pictures or articles get attentions grabbed by how creative it is, in that way fonts play a big role to take our message to a greater extent.

We are well aware that the software we use contains thousands of fonts in them, but we don't spend so much of our time looking at those fonts one by one. So we don't know the names of the fonts and it quiet hard to identify them. Sometimes we see a lot of beautiful or unique fonts in newspapers or pictures somewhere and we will want to use the same font but we will not be able to identify the font and it will definitely be hard to find out what the font is if you don't know the tricks. I have seen so many of my coworkers who sit for hours browsing the internet to find out what font it is, or they keep scrolling down the font bar of the software they use to identify it. That is not a possible way to identify fonts and if that was me i wouldn't spend so much of my time looking for that, but instead what i did was to do a small research on how to identify fonts and i am delighted with what i came through.
