Can anybody help me to identify this font...

...I have a customer who wants to use it but I'm struggling to find out what it is despite spending hours trawling though font sites. Any help greatly appreciated - even if its one that something like that I can edit.

Cheers

Try this you can upload a scan or there is a forum of font geeks, very useful

Really? 😯 Do they work for the RNIB?

I know! I know! I've tried to steer them towards many, many better fonts! But this one is on their sign and they'd like to keep it for some insane reason.

Just tell em it costs £1000s to license that one and get them to pick another one from this list:

This was the closest I could find on a 60 second scan:

The closest I could come is 'Hoplight':

But clearly it's not actually this one.

In addition, I'm pretty sure this font has been mucked about with – the 'c' and 'e' look strangely distorted and I'm sure it's not part of the original design. Plus I've got a feeling that 'P' might be another font entirely as the serif at the bottom and the angle of the calligraphy looks totally different to the lowercase letters.
