Nimbus Roman Modern Compress  Suggested by donshottype

Seems to be from a Japanese game. So it could be a compressed version of wider font -- a common practice in the Latin subset of Japanese and other East Asian fonts.
Note that the period is an oval about half the width of a circle.
The closest substitute I can find for the compressed font, ignoring the outline effect is Nimbus Roman Modern Compress D

Don, your other message has been hidden, there's no need to create a new topic with the same sample.

And if you want to add an image to a message, you can use BBCode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode

Edited message:
OK I'll try the BBCode but how do I get it to pick up an image from my computer?
I want to show what the base looks like when it is compressed 50% in height so that it can be matched with a font.
Which is a different image than this one.

You need to put your image online, for example on http://imgur.com/

Then: [img] your image url [/img]

Thanks. Lets see if this works

This is the lettering with the outline blanked out and compressed in height 50%.
Looks like this is the font before it was compressed in width.
Nearest I can find is Georgia bold, but that's not an exact match.
Any ideas?

Near to what could do the trick would be the suggested Nimbus Bold vertically stretched to some 208% and/or the Times Bold (not TNR), vertically stretched to 167.5%. Based on the Z the Times would be my option.

I tinkered with Times LT Bold in a font editor and agree with your call that it is the closest similar font when vertically stretched.
I also tried a moderately larger vertical stretch than your recommendation to match the lettering with the outline blanked out
