Hello everyone, I’m new here. I am a type teacher turned graphic designer, living and working in Atlanta. I am also actively involved in the Cybernetic Broadcasting System (if anyone else is there). I have been a type freak since the 20th century, and this request is a final attempt to save… um… face. Okay, bad pun, :P though some help really is needed here.

I have come here to seek font identification as a last resort. This one really has me stumped. It came from a photographer’s self-promo piece, is a sans-serif, and it looks European. The squarish O and Q make it resemble a FontShop typeface. The Q and the ampersand are the most distinct letters, the Q having a long and almost, but not quite, horizontal tail, whereas the ampersand is broken and does not quite match — it looks a bit funny.

It appears to be all small caps, as you can see by comparing the numbers. So it was probably made by someone who knows what they’re doing. The Q and the ampersand may be alternate characters, this is also a possibility. Other distinctions are the wobbly, pinched shape of the C and G and the apex of the M coming close to the baseline, but not touching it. The type also has a somewhat extended appearance, seen in the R and B.

It has some similarities with these, but is none of them:
URW Grotesk
Charlotte Sans
Gill Sans
Scala Sans
Myriad
FF Info
Legato
Meta
Olympia
Linotype Projekt
Scene
Stone Sans
Thurdis Sans
Unit
Univers
Zwo

Online font identification has been useless, so it must be some sort of gourmet font or is perhaps very new. If it can be identified, we will probably buy it, and everyone here knows how much fun new type is. So please help. Thanks, and good luck.
