Hi everyone.

I’ve been looking for this font for a while now. I’ve tried WhatTheFont.com’s services as well as Identifont but obviously without any luck.

So far I’ve found some similar ones like Alien League, Steelfish, Univers Condensed etc. However, as close as they may seem, none of them are the exact font. The reason I know is because the ’3’ has a straight line (as you can see in the photo) and all these other fonts have the double curves.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I have a sneaking suspicion that it is Univers Condensed (either 57 or 59) with some handwork done. What suggests this possibility to me is the A without the crossbar; the slash O with the slash going in the wrong direction; and the 3, which is really a 5, slightly modified (actually, it’s a combination of a 5 and a 7).

Wow, I didn’t even realize that was a possibility.
Thank you so much!!

This isn’t Univers Extra condensed, this is a slightly customised Cactus by Gareth Hague (Alias) — check the numerals.
