Font Diner's Guest Check in the Brown Bag set is very close, but,
even if some of the sharp tops and bottoms were snipped

That is ITC Matisse

It could have been made from Avenida, which has the flattened stroke endings (see Bauhaus Guide), creating the A from an inverted V and backing the arms of the E into the stem (using outlines in a graphics application). BTW, notice how much Font Diner's 'Guest Check' looks like Newport Classic with the G chin height changed?

Mike, Avenida's G & N would need to be modified as well.

Quite right, I see, about Guest Check, um, "borrowing heavily", shall we say, from Newport classic.
