TECH THURSDAY: HOW TO FIND ANY WEB FONT YOU LIKE

Dear readers,

As some of you might have noticed, I recently updated my blog design to make it look more personal. As well as the rather boring header, one of the things I didn't like about my original blog template was the title fonts, they were plain and very small...
I had used Whatfontis  and What the Font! successfully in the past to find a font I loved from a document or a picture, but I wasn't getting anywhere with finding the web font I wanted for my blog titles. Then I discovered Fount, a button which you simply drag onto your bookmarks bar and... voilà!!! All you need to do then is to click on the button every time you see a font you love and hover over the font with the mouse. A window will appear and tell you which font, size, weight & style are used on the page!!!
This button is compatible with Safari, Chrome, Firefox & IE8+.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to check out other bloggers' tech tips by clicking on the button below:

  1. TpT has made a font-a-holic out of me! Now I pay attention to fonts everywhere and sometimes wonder what font that is.
    Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into Fount!

    1. After getting KG's lifetime license, I feel like I have to make it worth the investment ;)
