I spent a lot of time looking for RAM, and I wonder what is the source of these? Do we know that they are fonts?
As far as the Korinna U, there have been versions of Korinna (usually by other names), where the U is like the one you showed above. I suspect that’s because the original U was a bit too strange (archaic) looking to whoever was planning to sell these copied and renamed versions. Image Club once had something they called ITC Korinna, but the lighter weight had the standard U as you showed, while the bold had the U with the left side curved inward. Some of the ’cloned’ bargain font sets just took a font and bolded and/or slanted it to create a new weight. We’ve all seen them.

The closest font I could find for RAM was Cape Arcona’s Aries. The R leg has an odd shape, curving down, but slightly outward. There isn’t much else to look for, unless you have more letters.

OK, how about Helvetica, in one of the heavier weights? Now the R seems like it has a hint of flip on the bottom of the leg. The C is quite closed, and so is the S. The more letters we have, the better.
