    Default AnyOne seen this Font?

    Hello all, has anyone seen this Font? I have looked all over, but no real success. I am hoping someone out there has knowledge. Attached is photo of text. It seems to be in italics. It is my Olive Ranch Job. Thank You all in advance.

    Thank You Joe & Dick. I was beginning to get lost in all the font web sites. The American Garamond is perfect. Looks like I can work the weekend, instead of ranch work.

    Those typefaces are similar, but they are not the same as the desired one.. notice the leading serf on the lower case "v" in olive.

    Also the lower case "a" is significantly different in the intersection of the upper stem and curve.

    If you want an exact match, keep looking.

    Dana,

    Michael may be able to use the American version of Garamond since it very close. However, a visit to www.fonts.com you may be amazed at how many versions of Garamond there are. I'm relative sure he can find what he wants in the Garamond offerings.

    Dana & Joe, Thanks,
    Yes, I needed the lead to the Garamond family. I've gotten into the habit of editing fonts I have to get by. this was the first time I had to ask. it is amazing how many subtle differences there can be in a font family!
    The sign was sandblasted 15+ years ago, there are other signs I will be making for this client,(to replace old warped signs) and they all seem to have little differences in the lettering from what I have or can find.

    Some of the older sign software had their own fonts.
