Thank you Ignacio. Aggie was the closest we've found here too, but the R is significantly different and the client is going to be using it heavily so we can't swap it out
Thanks for the tipoff Yves - the site is still down but Myfonts had about 40 of Ray's old LarabieFonts styles. No match there yet though.
I think Ignacio was right, David -- I can't spot any differences in the underlying letterforms between the sample and Aggie (the R looks identical to me, and look at that distinctive lowercase f, which is also identical). It looks to me like someone took Aggie and added a stroke or used Fontographer to make a faux-bold. The 'i', 'j' and 's' especially bear the scars of indiscriminate stroke-widening.

Looks like a heavier Aggie.

Then I guess I'm going to go on a deleting spree through the studio's font folders as I think this is classified as a dodgy ripoff font!

Many thanks to all!

Isn't that some freeware car brand font? Lemmecheck ...

Nope, and I can't check Ray Larabie's nor Typodermic as
they appear to have disappeared. Weird ...

Dang, it looks familiar tho. Made me think of Mark Simonson's
(far superior) Changeling.
