Gotham?

Mostra is similar.

Some of Mostra’s letters are too narrow (the S especially).

I thought it was Gotham as well, but the bottom (finial?) of the upper case V is pointy, rather than squared off…

It may be something that the artist hand renders?

This has been discussed here before and it was determined that his type was custom and based upon his own drawn characters.

I can’t seem to dig up the proper old thread, even with the Google / site:typophile.com trick.

Neutraface Display Titling is another similar alternate.

Here’s at least one of the previous threads:

Try Eagle http://www.fontbureau.com/fonts/Eagle

I remember speaking with someone in Michael’s studio a couple of years ago. I seem to recall the he renders it by hand.

I could have sworn that Michael made his (custom designed) typeface commercially available at one point. I have this vague and unconfirmed memory of seeing it in a little box (back in the days of floppy disks) on a shelf at store called Builder’s Booksource in Berkeley. I’ve never seen it or any reference to it since, and now wonder if I imagined the whole thing.

Does anyone know?

Otherwise, Eagle seems to be the closest match.
