Looks like standard-issue Helvetica at first glance. I'll check.

Yeah, Helvetica Neue Black Condensed Oblique (vertically squished) looks about right, the apostrophe doesn't match though.

You're on the right track, Chesh. I think it's Helvetica Neue Condensed Black, stretched horizontally and slanted. Here's a recreation done in Illustrator:

Don't know where the apostrophe came from, though.

Good lord, is that it? Glad I could get "dumbest post ever" so early . . .

Not really. Distorted fonts are tricky to identify, even common ones. We're just so damned sharp. :-)

And as Franz and Mark pointed out (simultaneously, I might add), Neue in any form is not, as I first suggested, what I'd call standard-issue. I always think of Neue as a more sophisticated approach to Helvetica. It even survived the distortion in this case.

Sorry everyone but the font is called Loosers, its based on irresponsible decissions over the last four years of its development.
