Looks to me like a bold Helvetica font which is a standard mac font. Microsoft's Arial font is based on this, though different and not as nice in print.

If you go over to myfonts.com they have a forum of sorts called "what the font" where you can post a jpg of the font in question and folks will try and identify it.

http://www.identifont.com/identify.html

type in some of the letters of the font you are trying to find. Then it will ask you a series of like 10 questions about the individual letters and their styling then it will give you a short list of possible fonts that it could be.


pretty slick IMO

Here is a sample of Helvetica Bold with tracking (width between letters) set to -60 which seems a good match. You can compare it yourself.
