(x) Mormon Missionary Nametag - engraved lettering {Raph}

anonymous

Hola, folks. I'd appreciate a little assistance in trying to identify a certain font.

The first line, not the serifed font below.

I've looked it up on a font identifier, which told me Avenir and Arial Curved Bold, neither of which can actually work for this font, as their O's are round and larger than the average letter. I don't think it's monospaced, but I could be wrong. Here's another sample:

Thanks in advance.

FF DIN has a better range of weights that gets closer to the look.

It's not really a font, it's engraved lettering. I wouldn't be surprised if it were something like standard style of a Scott Master Engraving Font. That said, I would be shocked if there weren't DTP fonts (probably free) around.

Thanks....that's definitely closer than Avenir or Arial Curved Bold. :-)

Bald Condensed

The "R" doesn't match with anything I've found so far: the sample
looks very much like Helvetica Condensed, but the "R" seems to
be News Gothic/Trade Gothic.

Looks more like DIN to me.
