Your question is interesting and it is something that I am often curious about myself. However, I am not sure of a way to do something like this in LaTeX or whether this is actually a LaTeX type question. Maybe studying/referencing something like this (https://practicaltypography.com/identifying-fonts.html) would be helpful.
Additionally, apps like WhatTheFont might also be helpful.
