@ryan Fwiw/imo, to be useful something like this would probly need to include everything. Monotype. Google. Dafont. Okay Type. Otherwise why would any one use it? As a second resort?

@Okay @ryan Maybe see if it possible to build a working prototype before deciding who gets to play with it.

@Okay @ryan I am working on something akin to this at https://typeface.directory But I sort of feel the opposite where in order for it to be useful to me as a designer, I don’t want it to include everything. (Ah shit, upon second read I am realizing this is about font ID not discovery… sorry!)

@Okay As wide-reaching as possible would be great, but would Monotype opt in when they have WhatTheFont?
