This is probably some sign painter’s alphabet. It is quite possible it has no equivalent in digital type.

For some reason, i remember it being called “Cigar Store Lettering” but I can’t remember why.

dezcom/Chris: Is the font called that? Or is it a shop that does hand lettering? Couldn’t google it and find a font.

Cheers.

Hand lettering style, I don’t know of a matching typeface. Sorry.

Not the same, but try out Parkinson’s Modesto.

I second Hrant’s nomination of Modesto, and also offer these suggestions:

Copperplate Condensed Bold

Berthold’s Flange is another similar style (at MyFonts — sorry, I can’t link with no mouse). There may be some other styles you could find using my Serif Font ID Guide.
