Thanks everyone.

I'd love to know this as well. It seems a bit tactile, but its a digital font, seeing there are the same letters used all over.

I looked at the first poster, and that looks like H&FJ Knockout (No. 70 , I think). There are 32 weights/widths, so picking the right one may involve using their test drive, but I think No. 70 looks pretty close to my eye.

I tried the Test Drive thing myself, and I can see that Knockout is only similar. The K, W and R are not right (among others), although they may be close enough, depending on your purposes. I am still trying to see if I can find a better match.

So far I have not found anything closer than Knockout. Another similar font is Rhode Medium Condensed, and it does have the right K, but the uneven arms of the E & F are more like Knockout.

It may be a customized mix of the two fonts, but more likely it is a customized version of Knockout, if I had to guess.

Thanks.
