I'm trying to get a screencap, but let's see if anyone can get it with a verbal description.

This was used in the titles for the movie Roger Dodger (not on the advertising material). It's an extended sans serif with a light, engraved feel (� la Burin Sans), but it has a two-storey g. It reminded me somewhat of Orange Italic's Gold, but I believe there exist more than one width. Seems like the same typeface was used to set the music information in the credits, but it had a normal width.

I'll try to take some screencaps.

It's Trade Gothic, dammit. Thanks to scoles for this one. I sometimes forget this sucker has a two-storey g (never see the lowercase), and the film softened it to the point where the terminals looked round. That's enough excuses.

As Stephen puts it: "Trade Gothic is like the American Robin to the birdwatcher: always taunts, always pretends to be something more exciting, until on further inspection, we find it's just the same old thing"
