The font at the bottom is Eurostile Bold. What is the word "CALENDAR" set in?

This looks hand-drawn to me. There are some irregularities to the curves, etc. Where is it from?

It's from a calendar I picked up at Value Village (a thrift store). The typeface doesn't appear anywhere else in the calendar. I figured it was custom (the "A"s look like Futura with extended legs), but wanted to see if anyone recognised it as a real font.

I agree with Patricia, at least to the point that I think it is customized. I could easily make this with Bernhard Gothic Light, but using the O to make the C, flipping the U upside-down to make the N, and also flipping the E to make it high-waisted. I think I could slide up the A crossbar with the letter in outline form, and there I would have it.

As an exercise last night, I redrew this in Illustrator. Even with my mediocre skills, it took about 15 minutes. And it yielded very convincing results, including the awkward joint at the waist of the R.
