The coexistence of the digital and the print worlds is not always easy. Who hasn’t seen a color or a typeface you liked while reading a magazine or walking down the street? But how do we know what it’s called or how we can use it ourselves? Thanks to Fiona O’Leary, we will soon have the answers at our fingertips. Still in Beta mode, Spector is a portable device that is placed on a font or color and immediately transfers it to the text or design we are working on. You can also save your scanned fonts or colors to use later.
