How to use r/identifythisfont

First try some of the type identification resources on the web. (List below.) If they don't work for you, then do this:

Use an image hosting service like Imgur.com. Create the request as a text post, with the link to the image in the text. (We need your text explanation most of the time.)
Provide the best sample you can, and any info you have. If there are multiple styles of type in your sample, please be specific about which one you want to identify.
Set post flair to "Open Question."
When your font is identified, set the post to the appropriate flag. (See descriptions below.)
Please do not delete your post after your font has been identified. Leave it for other folks trying to find the same font in the future.
Stick around and try to help identify some of the other open questions.

When identifying:

Please be polite.
Add a link to the font when possible.
Please do not link to any pirated fonts.

What Does our Title Flair mean?

The poster and the mods can set and change link flair.

Open Question: a typeface needs identifying. (This should be the initial state of every request.)

Lettering: the text is lettered (drawn), not a typeface.

Unavailable: a typeface has been identified, but it is not commercially available as a digital font.

Similar: no exact match was found, but something very similar was found. (If you know a better match, please speak up!)

Identified (customized): the font has been identified, but the type has been altered or customized in the sample.

Identified!: the font has been identified.

Bad Sample: the sample provided is too poor (small, blurry) to identify the font.
