If the text in your Illustrator file has been converted to outlines (shapes), the font is no longer directly accessible, but you can try the following methods to identify and find it:

1. Use a Font Identifier Tool

Since the text is now a shape, you can:

• Export an image of the text (JPG or PNG).
• Upload it to a font recognition tool such as:
  • WhatTheFont
  • Font Squirrel Matcherator
  • Adobe Capture (Mobile App)

These tools analyze the shape of letters and suggest matching fonts.

2. Manually Compare Fonts

If the font identifier doesn’t work, you can try:

• Adobe Fonts (Typekit) – Browse and search for similar styles.
• Google Fonts – If the font is free, it may be available here.
• Fonts websites like DaFont, FontSpace, or FontSpring.

3. Check the File’s Metadata (If Possible)

• If you received the file from someone else, the original font might still be listed in the File > Document Info (enable "Fonts" in the panel).

4. Recreate the Text Using a Similar Font

• If you can’t find the exact font, you may need to replace it with a close alternative.
