When It’s Not a Font

Hi, I'm looking for advice on where to find this font, if it's avaiable. It nearly perfectly matches the font Abadi Pro Light in most cases, however the descender on the "p" appears shorter, and "g" is tighter, as well as a few other subtle differences. Thank you for any suggestions and ideas!

Very similar to roman characters of Apple Gothic, but Apple Gothic has rounder dots/tittles over the “i”s.

 

Is your sample from a PDF? You can access the font information in Adobe Acrobat by opening the file and using the menu path File > Document Properties > Fonts. If you have Acrobat Pro, open the file and use the Edit a PDF tool and simply click on the type in question (if it is live type), and the font name will be displayed in the editing dialog window.

Hi thanks for the quick response, I really think that might be it! Unfortunately it's a scan! I did try the recognise text feature though to see if it could work but still nothing.

It's very strange about the "i"s though. When I overlay the fonts, Apple Gothic fits perfectly for everything else, and if I change the "i"s to Abadi, it's a perfect match. Who knows what they did, unless there's an older version of that font they used. Thanks so much for your help :)

Sometimes PDFs throw type artifacts, and that may be the case with dots in your sample.
