I've seen this beautiful typeface in projects designed mostly by designers out of England and Australia. I can find poor imitations only. I would LOVE to finally add it to my collection. Thanks!

I think I see what you mean. Your sample is not a dot matrix font, as most similar styles are. In yours, the dots do not line up matrix-style, but rather like they were hand-punched in order to space the dots very evenly.
I seem to remember questions like this in the past, and I thought someone found a good digital version. Maybe someone else here remembers this?

This is the thread I was trying to recall. Letraset Pinball has not been digitized, and it is not exactly the same as yours, but it is closer. You might try google searches for it, just in case someone decided to digitize it.

Harold Lohner's Bead chain is in a similar vein:

"Includes upper and lowercase, numbers, punctuation, and international characters. BEAD CHAIN/MARQUEE is a free download."
Thanks for the comments! Yes, it is the precision of the even spaces that really appeals to me. Perhaps I'll go to a bookstore and look at typography books. I tried http://www.tineye.com/ which fared better (for other images not included here) than a Google search, but still no match. -D.

Google-searching Typophile for "Stella McCartney" turns up some threads that might have useful information. (Her logo uses such letters and has been asked about on the ID forum a number of times.)
6x7oct is similar, but I think it doesn't have the even spaces you are looking for...
Another thread with suggestions:

I think I found a close one:
National First Font Dotted
and another one having even spaces, by Nick Curtis: Dot Soon NF
...but all links to MyFonts are broken,
or maybe they don't sell it anymore?

Alan Dempsey's 'Pinball' - apparently available direct from him. HORRIBLE flash website, but if you can navigate through it, you will find these specimens of 'Pinball', as well as 'Pinball 2' and 'Pinball Condensed':

There seem to be a couple of 'alternate' glyphs in your Curtis Stone example, perhaps custom work by Mr. Dempsey?
