[Hidden-tech] * * * Font Identification * * *

Fri May 31 21:39:24 UTC 2019

HI there

I see how difficult the problem is. I’m not a graphic artist but I got 
engaged. Can you open the attached file in Illustrator and trace one of 
the characters so that you can then use a font identifier? OR stop 
trying to use this font and use the ones that are being used on the 
website. I see Ubuntu Condensed among the usual.

My two cents. Good luck.
