Hello everyone!

This type looks like Trajan to me, but I ain’t getting a perfect match with it. Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Ray Larabie did his own take on the Trajan lettering and called it Byington. I think this might be Byington that has been widened. (Or it may be Trajan Bold that has been either widened or flattened.)

Looking at the two typefaces, I am inclined to think the serifs on your sample look more like Trajan. Larabie says he beefed them up in his version, for video and lo-res applications, and I think that may be the difference.

It looks like Trajan Bold to me...rather squashed though:(
