font? Too small to ID at 100%.
Looks like: Burin Sans, Sweet Sans, Trio Grotesk, Sackers Gothic Medium, & other similar fonts which could be used as substitutes.

thanks Apparently this is a custom logo in a faux Greek style. Here is a larger image of your wordmark:

Lightfoot was a free font by Paul Lloyd available from Moorstation, which seems to have expired.
Originally designed in 1820.
Agree with Lucida Bright, with horizontal stretch, as basis for this _a_ and _e_.
Agree with Arno bold as a source for most letters.
Reduced height on ascenders for _d_ and _h_.
Reduced scale and some modification for _W_ and _Y_.
But _a_ -- with it's slab terminal similar to a few fonts such as Stag and Alianza Slab -- and _e_ look like something else.

Looks like a vintage record label. I doubt that this was then a font.
Måns Grebäck created a fairly similar font last year with the name Electronics. A limited character version is available free here at Dafont.

Width squeezed by user. Shadow effect added.
Good find

Apparently based on a bible carried on the Mayflower. Not an exact match but works as an approximate substitute. Compare the letters in the image -- can't say if they are a font or not -- to the preface and translator's note in the Authorized King James Bible of 1611:

Note that repeating letters are often not identical.

This style continued into the 17th century, as is seen in Shakespeare's first folio.
Here is a near match for the swash _N_
The Illinois Shakespeare Festival produced a freeware italic font based on the main titles of the Shakespeare First Folio, with the name IlShakeFest in 1995. It does not use the swash _A_ or _N_. The _k_ has a long tail and top of it's loop is missing. Otherwise it is a passable substitute for your image. It is available here at Dafont.

Cunaeus Italic could also be used to approximate the image -- except for the swash _A_ and _N_ -- but would require an antiquing or roughening treatment to work as a substitute.
Might not be available as a digital font.
The letters look derived from italic typefaces by Claude Garamont (Garamond) or Robert Granjon in the mid 16th century.
Old time italic fonts often included swash alternates like the _A_ and _N_ in your image.
Guillaume Italic would approximate the image -- except for the swash _A_ and _N_ -- but would require an antiquing or erading treatment to work as a substitute.

Custom lettering. Note for example that the serifs of the _H_ in HELP and THE are different. Perhaps inspired by Serpentine Bold, which was then available as a photo-type font from VGC. The _A_ might have been derived from and inverted _U_ with the vertical strokes changed to the same width.
