Hello,
any idea if this is a full custom work or a commercial font ?

I think it has a strong resemblance in general style and shape to a freeware font called Luxembourg (see the sample here near the end of page). Based on this, I would guess this is a custom work, but I would be interested if anyone knows more.

Maybe custom designed by Margo Chase.?

The general feel makes me think of Rian Hughes' Miserichordia.

The "St Etienne Daho" font sample come from a cover sleeve of an EP by french singer Etienne Daho in 1995. Artwork was done by Me Company (background picture credit go to Pierre & Gilles). Does Rian Hughes had any relation with Me Company at this period ? As you said Bald Condensed, the general feel makes you think of Miserichordia, well some other fonts he made give me that feeling too.
