What font does The Odd Couple use?#0

Does anyone happen to know what font the current revival of The Odd Couple uses for their logo? I really like it and was thinking of incorporating into something for my grad school portfolio.

Thanks!

Can you post a sample of what you're talking about? The logo I see is three different fonts:

1) Neil Simon's
2) THE and COUPLE
3) ODD

Oops, sorry for my lack of specificity.

I am looking for the font used for "THE and COUPLE." I believe ODD is the same, only bigger and slightly bolder, but I'm namely after the THE and COUPLE.

Thanks so much!

Point me to a large enough sample and I'll give it my best shot. (Sometimes I'm pretty good at this.)

I can only find thumbnail-sized images so far, and it's really hard to tell.

EDIT: Well, that's better than what I've seen! Still it's not too big. My initial thought is that it's customized. Don't be fooled by the angled letters. They were probably manipulated individually. But I'll dig for a second and see if I can figure it out...

Could be Arial Black and the artist rotated the letters on his or her own. The "font" as it looks there might not exist.

Good guess, Craig. the "P" and the "E" seem specialized.. but they could be custom as well...

EDIT: Possibly in the Futura or even Lithos family... but I think this has been customized from a more generic san-serif font (like Ariel, etc.).

That's what I was thinking as I was looking at it, but I wasn't sure if there was a specific font out there that matched it as is. Thank you both so much for your help!
