Can anyone identify this font?

Asked by patg7590 (4608points) February 26th, 2009

I’m no typography expert and I need to recreate a logo…
Is there anyway to know for sure?
As opposed to “best guess”?

Times New Roman

But the phone and fax info looks to be Arial.

(I typed it into Word at approximately the same size, and there’s no doubt. It’s Times and Arial).

I love when people use 6 different fonts for a website and it ends up looking like trash.
thanks

is there anyway to know for sure? Other than “eyeballing” it?

I would say Times, also. But there are many fonts that are similar.

@johnpowell: What, you don’t use Microsoft Office for all your coding needs?

@lefteh: Funny thing. In college I worked at the TV station on campus. I was given a copy of the weekly schedule that was done in Excel. I needed to HTMLify it. Saved as webpage.

So later my boss asked WTF? This simple grid was 20+megabytes. I redid it by hand using tables. (this was 2002). It was about 10KB when I was done.

So yeah. I don’t use Office for HTML anymore. TextMate and CSSEdit now.

You’ve got two fonts on this logo – the first line is certainly Times New Roman, the second line is Arial or Helvetica (they’re the same thing).

PupnTaco's avatar

They’re not the same thing… Arial is a sub-standard ripoff of Helvetica, created when the font wasn’t licensed for use on Windows machines.

For future font ID needs, myfonts.com can help. You can upload a graphic or enter an image URL and check it against their database.
