(x) Stencil-type font ID using only a sketch - Banco {Dav}

I’m trying to remember the name of this typeface, but I don’t have a sample other than this horrible sketch done from memory. The key is that the G is separated into two parts, and the trapezoid is larger at the top than bottom. The typeface is probably more bold and condensed than my sketch, and less cartoony.

This might be a little bit better; people have remarked it looks like Lithos but it’s really not.

Found an example of it from the good people at Ask Metafilter:

’THRASHER’ would be ’Banco’, by Roger Excoffon..
