Fonti

Fonti, listed on the App Store as "Fonti: Font Finder Ai", is an app from developer Mehmet Ali Demir that identifies fonts from images. A user uploads a picture containing text and the app reports the font name or suggests similar alternatives. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, sits in the Productivity category and is meant for designers, creatives and others who work with typography.

Fonti uses AI to match the letters in an image against a font database of more than 1M fonts, and it can detect all the fonts in one photo at once. Each result comes with a confidence score. Users can also ask the AI for font suggestions that fit a particular need, and search for fonts online through font libraries instead of looking them up by hand.

Besides identification, Fonti finds alternative fonts that match a project and keeps a history of past font analyses for later reference. The app is aimed at both professionals and beginners and at branding, marketing and design projects. A recent update added support for 32 languages, including English, German, Japanese, Arabic and Hindi, along with an expanded font database and faster recognition.

Fonti is free to download with in-app purchases priced at $3.99 per week or $29.99 per year. It requires iOS 15.0 or later on iPhone and iPod touch, iPadOS 15.0 or later on iPad and macOS 14.0 or later on a Mac, and it also runs on Apple Vision. The developer states that user content may be used for tracking.
