More Disney Channel... from 1988

So, I’m rebuilding a bunch of Disney Channel promos for Halloween and now, I’m stuck with yet another font I can’t find. The WhatTheFont & FontSquirrel font finders don’t work great with VHS transferred images. I’m so sorry for pestering you. Here’s my latest request.


Thanks in advance!

Benguiat Italic

Thank you! I’m guessing Disney probably had a modified version of Benguiat for their systems. I see numerous differences. For example, in their version, the centre bar of the N comes down to the base of the last column. The W in Winnie has a serif flagging leftward. The A doesn’t have top serif. So, that’s why I thought maybe there was another font or a cousin to Benguiat.

Nonetheless, I hope you understand how much we appreciate your continued help in this forum, Typehuile. You’re a great gift and I want to thank you so much for all the assistance you give.

UPDATE: So, after some more digging I found that the font is actually ITC Isbell Std Bold Italic! The gaps in the B and P were bugging me. The flagged serifs on the W as well. Also, the shape of the J was off. Here is a little comparison.
