Slammy (Serif Gothic confirmation)

Michael McNicols

Greetings.

I was wondering if somebody wouldn't mind confirming the font used in the graphic below? I believe it to be Serif Gothic, but the lower case 'a' looks a tad different than mine, and unfortunately I can't find another similar family for comparison.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your help.

It IS Serif Gothic, with an alternate a, as originally released...

Thanks for the reply oldnick. Would it be safe to assume the alternates have not yet been digitized?
