Adobe Font Finder

Adobe Font Finder

I found Adobe’s Font Finder online tool while searching the web for fonts today. It has potential to replace it’s book counterparts. It’s not as intuitive as some of the books on the market, Rookledge’s Classic International Typefinder for example. However, with a little time and effort it could be well on it’s way. It’s decent in it’s current rendition; I suggest giving it a go on your next project and see what it recommends you to use.
