What is troublesome for some is someone else's bread and butter. But that will make our life
Sometimes people need to know what fonts is used on a book, poster, or web page. It's not necessary for me but I feel it would certainly be fun if I could recognize what the font is. Of course it's not only fun, but efficient for designers, adpeople and the like.
That kind of service, like font-version of Shazam would probably be enjoyable.
I think it probably exists already, but I only found a service for the Roman Alphabet, no Japanese version. Here it is.

If someone makes a portal for fonts that enables customers to search and get them, it would be beneficial for both the business and its customers. Maybe the needs are too specific so it's not worth the effort to make a font pattern recognition system.
Japanese letters are far more intricate than the Roman Alphabet but I hope that service will be introduced in Japan for the sake of some people.
My friend's jaw dropped when I said I have memorized about 3 thousand sorts of letters, Kanji. We were drunk, so we couldn't help laughing after saying "3000 seems too many, but you don't have to memorize such a number. You can read a newspaper if you know 1000 of them. 1000 is enough."
We had a laughing fit for "1000 is enough".
Compared to Alphabet, it's totally insane! Please reduce it to 26!
Reading and writing are far harder than speaking and listening Japanese.
Due to the enormous numbers of Kanji, searching for Kanji themselves is quite difficult for people who don't have knowledge of radicals or the numbers of strokes, not to mention how to read it. It would be useful if there was a Kanji-version of Shazam.
Oops there already is.
