This sample was sent to me by someone who says this was produced for them years ago, and they want to expand the product line, but don't know the typeface used. I thought it looked very familiar, but I can't place it. I've searched T-26, Alias, Device, Psy/Ops and books where I thought it might be shown, without any luck.

Anyone have any ideas?

In this sample it looks the "a" is the "e" and the "e" is the "a"...

Amoeba has kind of the same style ... and a cool uppercase.

Hope this helps Mike.

Thanks Ignacio. I knew Amoeba had some similar qualities, but the font she sent is made up of ellipses, and I seem to remember reading a font description that mentioned this design feature. If she wants to expand the branding, I doubt that a more random-looking font will be what she wants. The a/e filp occurs in many designs I've seen (that would be a good list to make), but here I think the ellipses in most letter forms is the key to this ID.
