Fount
Fount will tell you which web font in your font-stack you are actually seeing – not just what is supposed to be seen. It’ll also tell you the font size, weight, and style.

This is the easiest way to test or design with web fonts from WebINK. Just open FontDropper 1000 on any web page and start dropping fonts. See your changes instantly. Adjust font size, color, spacing and more.

WhatFont Tool
What is the easiest way to find out the fonts used in a webpage? Firebug or Webkit Inspector? No, that’s too complicated. It should be just a click away. To embrace the new web font era, WhatFont also detects services used for serving the font. Now supports Typekit and Google Font API.

What The Font!
Seen a font in use and want to know what it is?Submit an image to WhatTheFont to find the closest matches in our database. Or, let cloak-draped font enthusiasts lend a hand in the WhatTheFont Forum.

Identifont
Identify a font by answering questions about key features:
Do the characters have serifs? Serifs are spikes or slabs on the ends of the strokes.

What Font Is
“What Font is” is a very unique resource for web designers and developers. It is only one of its kind of OCR (Optical Character Recovery) tool which enables you to find out the font used in a picture.
