You're welcome. Anytime. Lobster is an easy one to recognize... amazing it is not a commercial font for sale...

Thanks for the credit pilaster --

It is so similar to University Roman at first glance - I had to peek in and see what someone came up with - lol

It looks like Americana that someone thinned out...

but the "5" is not...

Does this one qualify as "fuzzy" "Out of focus" "not very readable" or whatever terms we are using? I'm not sure, I know I can't tell what the second letter is... but I've old eyes. LOL

Paul, the lower "r" is there - take another look... and yes, it matches up...

if you'd care to see the alternatives (that letter M) you can see it here:

And you are so lucky - it's a cheap font at $14.99 - so many that are asked for are more than 100 bucks...

It's very similar to Letterhead's Boston Truckstyle - it's not the font - just very much like it.

I am not aware of a "smoothed version." I'd be happy if it exists... Let's see if anyone else can help. My normal questions is about here - how many generations of xeroxing is the sample? Because that alone can smooth out the wrinkles...

You are welcome

You are very welcome.

Built up to give 3D effect.

You are most welcome.

I just saw this on myfonts.com

I wonder if it is a font at all...

However close is Regina. Not the same font - but very close.

You are welcome. I only know, if I had to rebuild it, that would be my starting point. And I'd use the b, f and 5.
