Identify fonts with your iPhone

What The Font, the stellar app from MyFonts that lets you upload an image of a typeface and (abracadabra) tells you its name, is now available for the iPhone.

Snap a photo with the built-in camera, crop the type, verify its detection of different characters, and submit! I tried it on my name plaque at work and it had no problem identifying the font as Mark Simonson’s Snicker Bold.

So, the good news is that it works. The glorious news is that the app is free! And the bad news (sort of bad, in a limiting way) is that WTF only recognizes fonts that MyFonts sells. If it can’t name your font, it suggests a similar one they do carry.
