Moorpark College Graphic Design

If you’ve ever had to match a font with only a few words or even letters to go by, Identifont may save hours of research time. Identifont analyzes the anatomical features of the characters at hand. Enter the characters that match your sample text, and answer a series of questions to narrow the field. Once the requisite questions are answered, Identifont presents the likely candidate(s) from among the thousands of possibilities.

Please bear with me as I experiment with new ways of presenting our class postings. I’m learning about blogging, slowly but surely! Look for your class posts in the category section of this blog. Rather than posting notes for each class session on their respective pages, you’ll now find current posting in categories.
