Identifying a font

Someone I am doing a site for has given me this image below and asked if I'm able to identify the font used as they would like their header done in the same font. I've told them that's it's possible the font was just created for purpose and might not be generally available, but said I would definitely have a go.

I've trawled through several websites that have downloadable fonts, but no luck, does anyone recognise the font or have any ideas how I can identify it? Thanks.

Oh man. I bet that was a font created just for that occasion. You could probably recreate it rather easy. Or at least I could in Flash.

Here are a couple of sites that can help you identify that font!
I've seen it before but I have no clue what it's called!

You can also try WhatTheFont

I'm not sure if its any good or not but its worth a shot anyway.

I just ran the image through WhatTheFont and it came up with this.

Hey Padraig - I did the same thing as you from the link you gave, we must have been doing it at the same time! Yes, Freehand 471 it is! Thank you so much, what a quick solution to my problem Thanks to the others for their suggestions also.

No problem!

Ya, fantastic site. Nice to know what exactly I thought I was using that looked so strange. site bookmarked. Thanks.

Oh yeah I forgot about that site!!!

It's too late now Linda, don't try and steel Padraig's glory

Ok OK... I won't... salutes Padraig for great link and great reminder!

Old age I think. Joke joke....lol. (Don't take that personally!)

You can always pick up useful links when you hang around some graphics forums.

Huh? What was that in response to and who was it aimed at? I'm lost

Lchad.

Oh I see now, you mean why she had forgotten about that link. I'm obviously suffering from old age too - having a bit of trouble keeping up! Time for sleep I think...

Ooooooooooooo... that stung!!! :chair:
Now you sound like my kids!!!

Wow, cool link. I guess I was wrong. I just assumed that it was a custom built font...lol. Well glad you got the answer though!

Woow... I didnt know there is such website that can identify font type from an image...
Interesting discovery...
