ID font from papermag and Base-nine alternative

peter_monrad

I’m looking for something like this. The G looks a bit like Base-9, but everything else is way off. I have an idea, that I’ve seen the font before, but nothing pops up in my mind.

See it here: http://www.papermag.com/modules/archive/uploaded_images/1307_ct_kal_penn...

Regarding Base-9 (and base-12) I must say I really like the font, when all letters are capitalized, but I don’t quite like it, when it’s lower case. I feel the the upper-cases coould be put together with something else. Something similar but without the pointy/sharp ends. Any ideas on how an alternative lowercase base-nine could look (and what the name of that font would be)?

Thanks

That’s Eagle, the best known digitisation being the Font Bureau version.
