I have to rebuild a flattened file from scratch and have no information about the font and Photoshop style used. I have been able to recreate the Photoshop style, but I have a hard time identifying the used font.

Can you help me identify this serif font?

EDIT:

I forgot to note that I've already tried the usual font-identification sites… with no success. Even asking some of the "expert" forums turned up with no result.

    Do you have more of the image? There might be more defining characters. Also are these all small caps?

  • There apparently isn't any difference between upper- and lowercase letters. That's what makes it hard for me to narrow it down.

I've just received an email from someone I've met and asked in a typo-forum last week. She proposed to try out a font is called "Water Street".

So, I grabbed myself a copy online, installed it to the system, and - after some tweaking - it indeed seems to match up!

Funny enough, the font's description reads: "A wacky little serif font".

I can surely agree that it has been a whacky experience to identify this one during the past three weeks. Also, the width and letter-spacing tweaks did not help making it easier to identify. Oh well, at least I now have the answer to my question.

To everyone who has spend his/her precious time trying to help me: thank you. I appreciate your efforts!
