China Doll Suggested by donshottype
Bonzai Suggested by donshottype
This style of type is a faux-chinese or "chop suey font" -- a US concept of China that began in 1883, when the Cleveland Type Foundry created a typeface called Chinese Wong, which became known as Mandarin by the mid 1950s. There are many versions under various names.
The closest match to _NUMANI_ that I found so far is China Doll JL, based on a Speedball lettering book published in 1960.
I should note that some people criticize the use of these fonts as promoting racism or stereotyping.
