font submission guidelines

- At least two legible words. I can't identify individual glyphs nor do I want to put effort into trying to do so. No logos unless you're absolutely positive that it was derived from a font and not hand drawn.

- Latin based fonts preferred! I can't guarantee the accuracy of non-Latin based fonts, especially the ones I can't read/can't accurately replicate, but I can try.

- Nothing that has personal details that are not considered public knowledge. Don't reveal anything about yourself or others, especially without consent.

- That's pretty much it! Have fun!

I have (2) hobbies. One is collecting fonts. The other is identifying them.

This blog guarantees 100% of the fonts are identified by hand (eye?). Mistakes are possible. Using a photo identifier is not considered in the spirit of the game when the point is in the challenge itself.

what-thefont has no affliation with Monotype's photo font identifier, What The Font.
