Does anybody recognise what font House of Fraser use in their logo?

Hmm, apart from the 's', it's very similar to Arial Narrow Bold...
Calibri Bold is probably the closest 'common' font - that is, if you have access to a vista computer...
That's me done!

It looks very much like Century Gothic Bold

Here's a Regular version:

If not, then Trebuchet MS could be a close match.

In either case it looks like it has been squashed down on the vertical axis a little...

KW, good point!

Of that lot, ITC Mixage Medium also seems a good match to me!

It looks similar to Gill Sans or Johnston Underground – those big, circular Os – although the Rs and Ss don't quite match. Scala Sans Bold isn't a bad guess ...

I think it's Avenir Std

EDIT: maybe not - the e's look too long

It seems like a Futura to me.

So that's 15 different fonts mentioned!

I guess all I can do is play with the ones you've all mentioned that I have access too and see which looks best...

there are several very good matches there, or does it have to be exact?
don't tell me you're flogging forged goods! :-O

No, nothing more sinister than an idea for another ad for YAH and a possible new store name...
