Hello Fellow Typography Fanatics, Hoping someone out there can provide assistance for another pro-bono project gone horribly wrong. As with every font you see and think, "Know I've seen this before, should be easy to find", this one has me scrambling. The type-on-curve doesn't make it any easier and of course I can spend a couple of hours re-drawing it, but if a kind soul could provide a clue as to what this is, I would be very eternally grateful. Thanks in advance to anyone who even reads this post. Mike.

Wow, you did find it! Really nice detective work! It's also part of Adobe Typekit which is probably why it seemed like I've seen it before. I can't thank you enough, this will save me a few hours of work. Contact me at xxxxxxxx and let me at least buy you a favorite beverage. Thanks Again! Mike.

by the way, this is not a detective, it's a tiny gfx work. i edited four letters, and used our site. finally found it. especially the letter "R" is very determinative.

No, that was definitely true detective work! I used several of the online identifiers (including this one) but didn't think of de-curving them. Great idea!!! There were several close matches and you're right, the "R" and "C" had the most clues. It was driving me crazy because I had seen it before.
Automatic Font Finder System
Our system helps everyday thousands of designers (famous or not) to find the fonts they need to complete their work. Using a database of 1,100,000 fonts the automatic font finder system identifies the font from images.
Yet sometimes the images are very complex, so other users need a bit of help.
If you recognize the font from the samples posted here don't be shy and help a fellow designer.
If you need help, first try the font finder. At the end of the process if the results are bad you will find a link that lets you post the image to the forum so other users can help you.
