This is a set of flashcards for the popular open-source spaced repetition software Anki, which will teach you to identify the most popular typefaces. It showcases over 45 fonts, each with a short history and a list of defining characteristics.
The basis for these flashcards is the now-defunct FontSpotting deck developed by Dustin de Souza and Jessica Witt. The content is used with their kind permission.
