Type Help



I am looking to find a similar font to the one pictured above.
How would I describe how the letter have high and low 'connections', eg on the H and N's? (I don't know the technical language)
Or could anyone suggest a similar font

Thanks

perhaps this link will help. http://www.fontshop.com/glossary/

I think crossbar is the term you're looking for
