I think it is Din. From what I remember there are two versions; the horizontal terminals on the C (and other characters) is the standard, and angled terminals is the Alternate version.

Charles Grant — Tue, 1 Jan 2008 10:52:41 -0800

I guess you’re both correct then! Strange choice to combine two typefaces so similar... but hey, it grabbed my attention.

Yes, both are very similar... however, I think Antogometrica is closest. Check out the arms of the ’C’, Antogometrica’s stops shorter like the example.

I think it’s DIN - look at

I keep coming across this typeface, always thinking it’s Bell Gothic... It has a lot of similarities but many differences, namely the ’I’.

Can anybody help with the I.D?

Thanks,
