Help with Font ID Needed

Bobby H

Arial Sucks.
I need some help with identifying a typeface that looks very familiar, but isn't really. It looks kind of like a cross between Times and Century Schoolbook but with more of a slab serif feel. At first I thought someone merely artificially thickened Times to make it look more bold, but that's not really it. This is just a different typeface.

The attached image is from a customer supplied photo taken with a crummy phone, hence the low resolution. It certainly wasn't high enough to use at MyFonts "what the font" tool.

TIA for any help.

I, too, thought at first it was some variant of Times or Times New Roman with a stroke applied to it. The characters in Times are just too different.

Actually, Georgia Bold is the nearest match I have found to the typeface used on that Restroom sign. There's just some very slight differences though. The loop on the "R" in Georgia seems a tiny bit wider. The "M" also seems wider as well. When I add a stroke to lettering set in Georgia is looks even closer, but I still don't think it's a dead-on match.
