How to use adobe photoshop to recognize font-family in a png image

Question

I have a png image with text I cant identify, is there any way maybe though adobe photoshop or any other means to recognize font-family on an image.

Answer 1

there are a few web sites that can find the font face for you, like http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

Answer 2

Photoshop now has a built-in font recognition feature as of CC 2015.5 called Match Font.

Simply go to the Type menu and select Match Font and then crop the area to the font you'd like to try to recognize.

Additionally here are other resources to help you identify a font. (I pulled this list from a Graphic Design Stack Exchange Meta Post)

• WhatTheFont!
• Identifont
• Serif Font Identification Guide
• What Font is
• Fontspring Matcherator
