Looks like Luther, except the designer took the lower-case s and o and increased them to the cap height. It also looks a bit extended, and, of course, distressed.

Good call, Chesh! I was looking in the wrong places.

Thanks to Identifont, which worked for me for once. Though the reason I used it -- that if anything the identifier would be that straight middle on the S -- was undercut by the fact that I was looking for the wrong glyph. In the end, neither the upper- or lower-case s had anything to do with the id. So I got extremely lucky.

By the way, given my responses to Identifont's questions, Coquette came up as a better match than Luther. Thought you'd like to know.

It sometimes comes up with surprising and perplexing results. Imagine my chagrin when Arial used to come up as a possible match for my Proxima Sans.

Don't let it get you down Mark. Identifont's data base is an eclectic selection (to put it nicely), and some choices are rather subjective calls, even if you have the whole font in front of you, which is rare for ID'ing.

I'm not trying to suggest that maybe the database is skewed towards affiliates/sponsors ... well, yes I am!

Oh, I don't let it get me down. I just think it's funny.
