I was hoping someone might be able to identify this one for me?

I have looked in all the books I have that might show this style, including a number of Dan Solo’s books for Dover. There was a typeface called Atlas which is somewhat similar, but other than Bifur (also known as Matra) and Sinaloa there wasn’t much else that was very similar. It’s possible that they used an original (custom) design for that titling. All the shading lines are straight lines, so it may have been fairly easy to create.

I also looked in the Photo-Lettering catalogs I have and found a typeface called Niebolo Moonwalk, which is more like your sample, but still not identical. I am still leaning towards an original design, although I am sure my collection is not complete enough to be sure about that.

I think it’s just a customized Avant Garde.

Kind regards,

Martijn, that’s certainly a good suggestion. I’d go along with that.
