Added a Layer Style to Text, and I don't know which font I used

I worked on a project for a friend a year ago in which I added a layer style to some text. Now it's time to create a new design, but I don't know the name of the font I used (he wants the exact same font).

I opened up the project in PS CC, but the layer style prevents me from selecting/editing the text. Is there anything I can do to determine what the font is?

I've tried a few online font identifiers, but had no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

For future reference - make a copy of the layer with the actual font and then just hide that layer. This is a tip for Illustrator, too. Always keep an actual text layer copy incase you need to make changes or come back to it.

If you still have the layerd file the font name will shown in the text tool option bar when you edit the text layer.

I apologize, I buried the lead in my original post.

I rasterized the text, so now it's just a regular layer. My guess is that there's nothing that can be done in Photoshop, but I'm hoping some super-advanced PS user can help me out.

Hi

Can you post a screenshot of the text, it may help someone to identify it
