We've had this before. Maybe this time we'll have more luck.

I'm not sure what this is, but it has definitely been widened. Here is approximately what the font in question actually looks like:



Maybe somebody else here can recognize it from this.

I think it looks like Compacta with a modified S, G and probably the N. One reason I picked it, is that the C has the same longer lower 'chin', rather than being symmetrical. I know the poster for the thread James mentioned said it was NOT Compacta, but I think that was based on the mismatch of the modified letters.

Sure there may be a newer font out there, but other than House Gothic 23, I can't think of anything this close.

My vote is customized Compacta.

My vote goes to Binderstile Bold, which seems to be a perfect match down to the ink traps. The only digital version I'm aware of (I have it) is Brendel Informatik's Report Bold, but my link yields only a crappy image of it I'm afraid. Perhaps someone with a better catalog representation of Bindertile Bold than the Solotype Catalog offers can confirm (or reject) the ID.

I'll second that. I checked some old type catalogs, and it matches Binderstile Bold.

Thanks Mark x2. I never would have made the connection staring at the original stretched image.

Incidentally, I don't think this is the same font used on the Spice Girls CD referred to above.
