and activate that.
Okay, so this is my client's
website, Gillies and MacKay
and let's pretend I've never
been to this website before
but I've stumbled upon it
whilst I've been looking
for inspiration for fonts.
And I've decided that actually,
I like this font here.
But I don't know what it's called.
So how do I found out?
Well, we activate Fonts Ninja.
So we go up to the extension bar top right
and we click on Fonts Ninja.
And what it does is it loads in all
of the fonts on that page
and identifies them for us
which is really, really handy.

English: 
shed life is actually in the font Qin's
oh you can see here that it says try
this font on your computer if you click
on that with the browser extension
installed it won't
actually look like it's doing anything
so what you need to do is you need to
actually install the application from
fonts ninja now this application is not
free it's five dollars a month but by
installing the application it opens up
much more functionality to the fonts
ninja app and let's take a look at that
so if we go back to the fonts ninja
website and we go to products you'll see
a link for the fonts ninja application
so gives you some information here you
can search for any fonts with more than
3000 fonts they've probably got the font
that you're looking for you can activate

English: 
is actually in the font Cinzel.
You can see here that it
says here try this font
on your computer.
If you click on that,
with the browser extension installed,
it won't actually look
like it's doing anything.
So what you need to do is you need
to actually instal the application
from Fonts Ninja.
Now, this application is not free.
It's $5 a month
but by installing the application,
it opens up much more functionality
to the Fonts Ninja app.
And let's take a look at that.
So if we go back to
the Fonts Ninja website
and we go to Products,
you see a link for the
Fonts Ninja application.
So it gives you some information here.
You can search for any fonts
with more than 3,000 fonts.
They've probably got the
font that you're looking for.

anytime and you can also get the font

So if we go back to the Gillies site,
I go here, you can see
I've got Fonts Ninja.

English: 
now I previously tried these fonts so
what happens is with fonts ninja
application installed you can actually
click on the font and you can type in
your own text or even text you can
change
the tracking and you can change the size
you could also check out some pangrams
which use all the letters in the
alphabet with different freezes just so
you can see how that text works and then
if you decide yeah I like that and then
we can do is you can click on try this
font on your computer it will install it
on to your computer so you can see that
jinsol is now showing up in the fonts
ninja app I can click on it gives me a
nice big version of it it tells me that

English: 
Now, I've previously tried these fonts
so what happens is with Fonts
Ninja application installed,
you can actually click on the font
and you can type in your
own text or even text.
You can change the tracking.
And you can change the size.
You could also check out some pangrams
which use all the letters in the alphabet
with different phrase
just so you can see how that text works.
And then if you decide yeah,
I like that and then what you can do
is you can click on try
this font on your computer.
It will instal it onto your computer.
So you can see that
Cinzel is now showing up
in the Fonts Ninja app.
I can click on it,
it gives me a nice big version of it.
It tells me that it's activated.
I can download the font.

English: 
It's an open source Google font.
So it comes from Google
so we can actually use that
one for free commercially
which is great.
If you want to deactivate it,
just click on this box here.
If we go back, you'll
see that it's deactivated
and we can do the same for
all of the fonts on this page.
One last thing, you can
actually change the window
into dark mode.
I often prefer this 'cause it's easier
to see the white out of a dark background.
So you just click on
that little symbol there
and that will flick
between the two options.
Let's take a look at another website.
Another client of mine, Jammy Digital.
Let's activate Font Ninja on this website.
See, we've got Lato, Oswald, Bellatiez.
Now, the interesting thing here

English: 
it's activated I can download the font
it's an open-source Google font so it
comes from Google so we can actually use
that one for free commercially which is
great if you want to deactivate it just
click on this box here if we go back
you'll see that it's deactivated and we
can do the same for all of the fonts on
this page one last thing you can
actually change the window into dark
mode I often prefer this because it's
easier to see the the white out of a
dark background and so you just click on
that little symbol there and that will
flick between the two options let's take
a look at another website another client
of mine jami digital let's activate font
ninja on this website see we've got
little Oswald Pelletier's
now the interesting thing here is that

English: 
is that Bellatiez is obviously
not in the 3,000 fonts
that are available to Fonts Ninja.
The good thing is is that
it's still identifying
the font name.
So it's still telling you what it is
so you can go and search on Google
if you really want that
to go and download it
from sites where it is available.
But it's allowing me to
download Oswald if I want.
I can click on Oswald
and type in some text.
Again, I can look at pangrams.
Or we can download it.
And it's now on my computer
and we can try it out
and I can try it out
in Photoshop if I want
for any printed materials
or for creating any web page mock-ups.
So that's a really quick
overview of Fonts Ninja.
Please try it out.
As I say, you don't have
to instal the application.
It does open up many more
abilities to Fonts Ninja

English: 
Bela TAS is obviously not in the 3000
fonts that are available to fonts ninja
the good thing is is that it's still
identifying the font name so it's still
telling you what it is so you can go and
search on Google if you really want that
to go and download it from sites with it
is available but it's allowing me to
download oswald if i want i can click on
oswald type in some text again we can
look at pangrams or we can download it
and it's now on my computer and we can
try out and I can try it in Photoshop if
I want for any printed materials or for
creating any webpage mock-ups so that's
a really quick overview of fonts ninja
please try it out as I say you don't
have to install the application it does
open up many more abilities to fonts

English: 
but if you're just simply
looking to identify fonts
that you can then go and
find and download yourself,
then the browser extension
is probably going
to be more than enough for you.
