moonlighting TV series and I've seen a similar version of it as the header for http://www.candycollective.com/index.html

candy collective's magazine.

Avant Garde with Alternates. It's not that obscure - we get it a lot around here.

Thanks Lex. I was thinking it was an Avant Garde font, but I didn't know anything about the alternates. I've noticed it's been really around a lot now. Logoonline.com is using it in some ads now.
