How do I figure out the name of a font?

Asked by tinyfaery (44107points) September 22nd, 2021

I found the font on a picture and I want to know the name of the it so I can use it for a tattoo.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you share an image of the font?

You’ve probably thought of it, but for things like this I just enter “list of fonts images” in Google. If I can narrow it (serif or not, stuff like that) I do.

Maybe a print shop would know by looking.

Can I ask what new ink??? Fun!

This reverse font search should work:

Thanks @cookieman I couldn’t find the exact font but this really helped.

@canidmajor I am getting a few lines of a Bukowski poem on the outside of my forearm.

Lovely! I am due for another one soon.

@canidmajor

What’s the viability of showing the picture to your epidermal artist?
If that is a viable option, it might be even better than naming the font.

It sure was- thanks for the catch! :p

Excellent @tinyfaery. Good luck with the tattoo.

@Brian1946 Because the picture only has so many letters and I need to know what the letters I’m using in my tattoo look like so that the font is consistent.
