Typeye — Identify Any Font From a Photo, 100% On-Device

Ever spotted a font in the wild — a poster, a logo, a screenshot — and had no idea what it's called?

Typeye solves that. Point your camera or drop in an image, and Typeye identifies the font instantly — entirely on your device.

Why on-device matters

Most font identifiers upload your photos to a server. Typeye runs recognition locally with Core ML:

  • Privacy: your photos never leave your phone
  • Speed: results in milliseconds, works offline
  • Cost: no server bills = free tier stays free

What you get

  • The exact font name (or closest matches)
  • Similar free alternatives for every commercial match
  • Direct links to get each font

Who it's for

Designers pulling typefaces from mood boards, developers matching a client's brand font, students decoding typography from textbooks, and anyone who ever took a photo of a cool sign.

Try it free at typeye.com — no signup, no upload, no waiting.

Typeye is built by an indie team obsessed with type. Feedback welcome.
