'Commercial Vernacular'

alphapeta

Hi—

I'm trying to source this lettering as a typeface—outside of the usual naff vernacular fonts available, and a few offerings
at House Industries, does anyone know if there is anything akin to this effort anywhere else?

I know it's hand drawn, but there must be something similar.

The closest thing that comes to mind - and it isn't upright - is the FM weight of Radio.

Is a bit too monoline … I'll keep looking

Michael Doret's Orion is upright, and based on similar commercial lettering, but it's even more monoline than Radio. Tom Kennedy has the lovely Cosmic Cursive over at Letterhead Fonts, although that might be a bit too "brushy".

Similar feeling, but unconnected:

Several possible candidates from Flat-It:
