What is this Century Gothic like font?

TomVDJ

Can somebody identify this font (see attachment). It looks a bit like Century Ghotic, but it's not completely the same. Any ideas? Especially the round O and C are remarkable.

The letters are a bit blurry, but that's because it's a scan of a printed document. I'm sure the font is sharp...

The characteristics I see in thos font for are:
- Round O and C
- Diagonal ends of C
- Middle "bars" of E and F are shorter than the top "bar"
- Middle of M is on the baseline
- Shape of the R

Nobody who can help me here? I think Avenir comes close, but it's not completely correct. Any suggestions would be great!

Seems close: Shyfoundry-Derek Vogelpohl/SF Florencesans

The R's a little suspect.

Best match I've seen so far! Thanks a lot! If someone knows other fonts that are this close or maybe closer: please feel free to reply!

If you're going for that Cold-War-office-supply-look, I love Metallophile.
It's more of a Futura-based typeface, though.

Thanks for the tip. But I'll go for SF Florencesans. I even think SF Florencesans is a perfect match! I recreated the text in photoshop in a layer on top of the scanned text, and it matches perfectly (even the "R"). So I think SF Florencesans is the used font. Thanks for the help!
