In this case, the first font was a perfect match.

Tap one of the potential Font Matches to see more Font Details. You'll see the name of the font, a portion of the alphabet in the font, and a description of the font -- perhaps a little history along with the name of the designer and design date.

Tap the window/arrow icon in the upper right corner for three options: More font details; E-mail font details; Start a new search.

Selecting More font details takes you to the actual Web page for the selected font. You can type in your own sample text and see the selected font in various sizes.

The first Font Match -- Magneto Bold -- is a perfect match for the font from the Cry-Baby poster.
