Poster font with uneven letters

Azalea1964

Hi,
I don't know much about typography and I'd like to id that font.

I tried a few automated tools but no luck. The fact that the text is slanted probably doesn't help. But you can clearly see that many letters are 'uneven', like for the W and the X, the stems (if that's the correct term) are not the same length. I like that.

Your help is really appreciated. Thanks!

It's not a match, but Ed Gothic from House Industries is quite close FWIW.

Right foundry, wrong font -- it's Burbank from House Industries. :)

Ah ha, good find! Looks like they've forgotten to include Burbank in their 'Browse Fonts > by Style > Animated" category.

Right on! You guys are unbelievable. Thanks so much!
