Do you ever wish that you could upload an image of some text, and have a program tell you what font the author used to write the text? Well, that's exactly what WhatDaFont is! Just upload an image and it will suggest some fonts for you!

This image gave me Tee Franklin Light, which is pretty dang close to the original image. Not too many bad things I can say about this program. It works. It's free. It's pretty fast and simple. And that's why this is a golden nugget of information in the wisdom of Jim!

Here are some test images for you to use along with the #1 matching font from WhatDaFont:
