Hi, can some typographer around here help me identify this font? It's my (new) employer's logo and she's forgotten what font it is.

I know it by sight but for the life of me can't remember the name of it. It's an old 70's-80's Letraset catalogue favourite (not of mine, I hasten to add).

One thing is for sure; its been pulled about a lot with a heavy hand. Horizontally scaled for the first bit and overly skewed for the second bit.

I'm terrible at naming fonts, but here is a site that is pretty good at it. You may get an answer faster from there than from here.

Looks like University to me.
EDIT: Yep, it is. http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/letraset/university-roman/

Good one... was kind of on the right track with the Letraset thing. :o

A popular typeface that has been widely used since its introduction by Letraset in 1972.
