our office has used this on its letterhead for years. I wanted to buy a font to use for letterhead and also for our website. Even something similar would be fine.
All I have is the jpg image from our printer. Our printer did not have the font. I assume they don’t want me to stop buying letterhead.
I have no idea how this typeface is relevant for insurance, but I am digging it’s retro-ness. It’s probably some old photo-lettering face or was custom-drawn, since there are a few ligatures in there.
You can use (whatthefont) to identify a similar font see link below. I liked the “terrifically terrible” comment. Youch, this is hard on the eyes. I would not advise in utilizing this font for contact information. Hard to read.

More likely, since your office has been using this for years, is that the printer was originally given something to scan and all they have is a bitmap image, same as you. I’d be very surprised if this were identified as an actual typeface.

Identify how? Are you wondering if it’s a font or hand drawn lettering? Do you want the history of the style?
Give us some more details and maybe we can help.

Looks pretty well identified already. The company name is clearly present and you can get a number of clear hits with google.
Or did you mean the typeface? I don’t know. It’s terrifically terrible.

You make a good point, accidental!
Perhaps the best thing to do is tell HerbSegal that it’s just plain impossible to recreate those “letters”. It’s a type crime.

A JPG is the only source of your companies logo/identity?
Might be time to consider a new one.

A new one resembling this type is exactly what I’m looking for. Any ideas on font that resemble this.

I agree. I had nothing to do with the design. I only work here!

Why not try and update it a bit with something similar like incana
or a cleaner retro font like washington.
