I chopped the file down to

and pumped it through http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/, which suggests:

Looks similar..?

EDIT: on second looks, it's not quite the same is it

I'd say you got it in one riddlermarc - the flicks on the F and E are the same, same letter shape, in capitals at least.

No he is right, its not quite the same, there is no flicky bit on the lower horizontal line in the F (or the middle one in the E)

I had tried that when I remembered the website with:

Interestingly I get different fonts - none of them helpful though.

If anyone recognises it or knows of more ways to try and match a font to name I would be grateful.

Think its a stretched version of "Freshman" ? :

I don't think that is quite it, the proportions of the flicky bits on the E are not quite right. I don't think this would be resolved by simply stretching it - maybe I am wrong though (fiddling in photoshop seems to confirm this).

Perhaps this is the closest I am going to get but if anyone else has any suggestions that would be nice.

Thanks for all the help so far
