Elysium Film Font ID?

mcfee

Hello!

Could anyone help me ID the font used in the film Elysium? I'm thinking it might be a custom job but hoping someone can shed some light on it.

Thanks in Advance

Wasn't able to spot a match. Real question to me would be to know if the relative global clumsiness is intentional or not. I can't state if it's a mash-up, some letters gathered together for this lettering, a amateur techy freebie or customization of an existing font. Some letters look extended (/E, /R), some less (/U, /I, /L, /Y, /J). Some look techy (/S, /R), some look to come from a freebie san (/J, /M). You could start for instance with Old Republic SF, extend and even /E bars, redraw /S with 2 face-to-face /P counters and recreate /R with /P adding a leg.
Some more "similars": mixing Protofet and WerkHaus TNB, Moiser

Thanks for your reply. Yeah see what you mean about the hash up, and to be honest I thought it probably would be a custom job, but thanks too for suggestions of existing fonts I can play with to try and create the same kind of effect.
