Is there a way to find font name

I was given a rastered logo to be re-done in AI. I have no idea what the font is that they used. I found one that's close but not quite. 'm trying to avoid having to recreate the font by drawing it in AI using the pen tool.

Is there some magical way that the font name can be discovered so I can load it into AI? Or is there a website that can do that for you?

Below is the font that's in the rasterized file that I need to find or recreate. Thank you for any help.

There are websites for it. Rotate them, so they are in a row and then upload to Whatthefont.com

Or try Search by image on Adobe Fonts. But then it will search only in Adobe Fonts.

Cochin looks like a good match.

 

I probably acquired this font when I purchase this Apple computer.

Apple took it upon themselves to “gift” us with hundreds of System Fonts I neither want or will ever use and I can not delete or deactivate with Font Agent Pro.

You're absolutely right as I noticed that too! If you'd like to send it to me that'd be fantastic but I do use Windows so am not sure if it will work for me(?)

I did a quick Google Image search:

Cochin Font.

 

https://www.google.com/search?as_st=y&tbm=isch&as_q=Cochin+font&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&imgsz=&imgar=&imgc=&imgcolor=&imgtype=&cr=&as_sitesearch=&safe=images&as_filetype=&tbs=

 

Many websites to choose from to download.  Free

Pick one that works for Windows.

Install and active, so you can use in Illustrator.
