Identifies a font from a photo or screenshot of a few letters.
Upload an image, drag a box around the text, and it returns the closest matches from the MyFonts catalogue with the glyphs overlaid so you can check letter by letter. It wants a clean, high-contrast, roughly horizontal crop — a photo of a shop sign at an angle will not get there. It is a shop window as well as a tool.
