iPhone App: Whatthefont iPhone

I've never really been on the iphone bandwagon, but this is really too much. My Nokia is now incomparably pathetic beside this application:




Whatthefont.com, being so awesome as it already is, has recently released an iphone application that does what it is capable of: identifying fonts via captured images. It will instantly search for similarities in x-height, ascenders, descenders, cap heightand many other font similarities in shapes, curvature and form, then place it in comparison with its database of fonts, to try and identify the typeface.

It makes me seriously consider getting an itouch.

For all the fellow type geeks out there, you can download this app free at
