The font used to spell out "Stargate Universe"? Help?

I was wondering if anyone's been able to identify the font used to spell out the full title seen onscreen under the big "SGU" when the show opens each week. (Same logo is seen on some websites.)

I thought the lettering was a thin version of the Trek font called "Federation". Also thought I had it on my old computer but couldn't find it today to compare. (Oddly enough, the font I thought was it is now displaying as a duplicate of the "Federation Classic" font, the Trek TOS title lettering.)

Does anyone know what font SGU uses to spell out "Stargate Universe", or maybe the name of the wire thin version of the "Federation" font? (Same lettering style that was used in the title of the show "Enterprise".)

If you can help...

Thanks.

It's very similar to Eurostyle, stretched 150% horizontally and given a wide kerning. It's not 100% on, but it's pretty close.





ETA: Ah, it's Eurostyle Extended #2. Check it out here.



(That's as much as their sample box shows.)
