Sample here, the main text “[We Watch We Call](http://wewatchwecall.com/images/sign.png)”. I’m not sure if you’d even call it a serif font or not, what with the slight knobs at the ends. I’d like to duplicate it but I have no idea if it’s even a regular font or just something that was drawn freehand. Or could it be a WordArt font? ---

It’s a rounded serif font and I’m sure I’ve seen it before. My first thought was some variant of [Cooper Black](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_Black), but I can’t seem to find the right one. Every search or font identification site keeps circling me back to Cooper Black. I hope someone can identify it, because now I really want to know. ---

I knew it. I’m a graphic designer and a Mac guy. It’s a font included in the Mac OS and is the reviled default font in the iOS Notes app. ---

It’s got that “Comic Sans” feel, where you just know some boring “design manager” in a cubicle tried to make a font that _ **“Lº0kZ ƒuÑ!”** _ It’s Marker Felt THIN (much worse than, and oddly unrelated to, Marker Felt Wide). > [@](#): > > but I have no idea… This is a good first step.

I’m going to make a parody of the sign, for my own and some friends’ amusement. 😛 ---
