looking at 8500 fonts once or twice or ten times isn't going to get you anywhere. What are you going to remember?
What you need to do is start educating yourself about typography. Find some literature and begin to read about the history of type and about contemporary type.
"Anatomy of a Typeface" a good place to start.
You need to familiarize yourself with typography based on assests that each face has, and qualificationss that make it good for certain applications, understand the differences between faces...
Start to identify typefaces that you see in usage, from memory, and build up a vocabulary of faces that you can draw upon.
Ane, in the case of needing a specific face, like a blackletter or something, turn to reference books.
