    No, it's not Courier. That's a monospaced font.

    Looks to me more like something like Myriad or Calibri.

    Courier looks like this

    Calibri isn't on the font list of this ancient forum software.

    Yes I think Calibri - the g is distinctive.

    But I'm not familiar with myriad

    edit - not Myriad

    Might be possible to work it out if the original file was available. But not from that reproduction. Just out of interest, why do you need to know?

    Don't necessarily need to know but to append extra bits to it would be nice to keep the appendices in keeping with the style of the rest of the agreement.

    What's the source file? If it's a PDF/webpage/document you should easily be able to extract the font information.

    But anyway, +1 for Calibri in my opinion.

    I just wondered....once someone asked me to match a font and it turned out it was for a slightly err, odd purpose! But I do have to match fonts myself for strictly legit purposes, so I'm not casting any aspertions, just curious...or nosy, depending on how you see it!


    If you have an electronic source for it, or it is on a website, it should be possible to dig it out. There are ways of making the font information display on websites, for example, or if the original text is pasted into something like InDesign, it will usually either display in the font, which is easy to check, or throw up a box to warn you InDes. hasn't got it and tell you what it is so you can source it if necessary.


    (agree with Calibri, it's the closest I have)

    If you've got a decent-ish quality image, you can use What The Font! to identify it.

    Another vote for Calibri here - our work computers have recently switched to it as a default.
