All letters, except /a & /M looks very close (if not an exact match) to a manually slanted Lucida Sans (Bold)
The problem with Lucida is that /a has a curly terminal and /M middle is not touching the baseline.

Thanks fvilanakis. I reviewed Lucida Sans Bold as well, and noticed the same inconsistencies. Stroke weights are off for the lowercase v (right side is thinner than specimen), but that might be one cut vs. another. I suspect (and as you mentioned re the manually slanting) that the letterforms have been altered.

Thanks for the assistance.
