I like this font and would love to add it to my repertoire… but I’ve never seen this before and wonder what the heck the font’s called.

[QUOTE=RealityChuck] This might help: [http://www.identifont.com/](http://www.identifont.com/) [/QUOTE] I tried it. Unless I made a huge mistake, I didn’t get the font asked for in the OP. ---

I’m assuming you’re looking for the white font, not the yellow, right? They’re not the same. ---
