I'm banging my head on my desk trying to match the font in this asstastic image a client provided. I'm trying to build a proper vector version of this thing, but I can't, for the life of me, dig-up a serif font to match exactly. I've tried the usual web sources, WhatTheFont and Identifont, and their solutions were worse than the close-but-no-cigar options I came up with myself.
Bits that I think are pertinent...
• The serifs at each end of the cap-T angle outward left and right. Many T serifs actually angle slightly left.
• The high tail on the small e. Most tails don't curve up as high.
• There is essentially no upright serif on the top of the cap-C. Maybe just a tiny vestigial tick. Hard to tell with this nasty image.
• The sharp angled cutoff on the stem of the small r.
• No upright serif on the small c, either.
• The left-center ascender on the cap-W meets the right-center ascender part-way up. They don't meet in a peak.
The italic text looks pretty obviously just the roman type that had a "make italic" effect slapped on, so don't worry about that.
Any ideas? I hate trying to match such common-looking fonts. The details are what trip you up.
Thanks!
(I didn't design this thing. I'm just doing a friend a favor.)
