Font Identification Thread

HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN POST AN IMAGE TO ASK FOR A FONT NAME.

Please refrain from posting up threads asking a font name. This will help keep them in one place for others to easily find too because many of the threads are repeats.

This is a quick refresher on the piracy rule:
PLEASE DON'T REQUEST LINKS BECAUSE THE FONT YOU ARE ASKING FOR COULD VERY WELL BE A COPYRIGHTED FONT AND IF IT IS, YOU RISK BEING BANNED. THE "I DIDN'T KNOW" EXCUSE WON'T WORK BECAUSE IT'S REALLY EASY TO FIND OUT IF IT'S COMMERCIAL OR NOT.

IF THE FONT IS A FREE FONT, THE LINK CAN BE POSTED.
JUST BECAUSE A FONT IS OFFERED FOR FREE ON A SITE WHEN IT'S A COMMERCIAL FONT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S OKAY TO POST THE LINK. KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN POSTING LINKS AS WELL.

IF YOU POST A LINK TO A FONT THAT IS COMMERCIAL AND OFFERED FOR FREE DOWNLOAD, YOU RISK BEING BANNED.

IT'S FAIRLY SIMPLE TO FIND OUT IF A FONT IS COMMERCIAL OR NOT BY SEARCHING THE NAME OF IT. THE EASIEST PLACE TO FIND OUT IF IT'S COMMERCIAL IS BY GOING TO WWW.MYFONTS.COM AND TYPING THE NAME IN THE SEARCH FIELD. THERE ARE SOME SITES THAT DON'T SELL THEIR FONTS VIA MYFONTS THO SO DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL ALSO HELP YOU DECIDE IF THE FONT IS COMMERCIAL.
