Good find.
This is the earlier version of Sharkshock's Republica Minor and has an _a_ which matches the image.

Oct 05, 2015 at 15:58  [reply]  font name from jonestown!

Looks like the 1999 reconstruction of the 1978 sign at Jonestown, Guyana above the throne of suicide cult leader Jim Jones.
Would have been hand lettered and perhaps not based on any specific font.
The unusual _M_ is similar to Chesterfield

Wonderful bloated swooshy lettering that says early 1970s.
Candice has the vibe -- but not a match.

Can we even begin to count how many fonts have been "inspired" by Futura Condensed Bold?

I remember those.
Differences were trivial.
Don



Interesting -- Airport presumably was futuristic?
I can't spot any differences from Futura bold cond. Did I miss something?
Monotype seems to have been no slouch in the clone and rename game.

At the risk of launching an endless discussion I'll say my 2 cents worth.
I find that we are all served poorly when the US corporate giants use IP as a way of browbeating the world. T, Roosevelt said The US should carry big stick. Those of us on the receiving end are not so happy.
The Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement -- that may be announced today -- or further postponed, includes oppressive IP obligations that must be met by other countries. From the owners of Micky Mouse to the pharmaceutical cartel that denies access to generic drugs until many years have passed. Indeed, it stinks

This is the pre-digital Vendome, designed by François Ganeau in 1952.
Unique letters, such as _G_.
Several digital versions, one of which might include the swash tailed _Q_ as an alt.
Worth checking.

Suggested font: Vendome



Not 100% but close enough to use as a substitute without editing, except for _a_ which is different.
Can get closer by editing Compacta Black
So you have a choice, Republica as is for a 90% plus match or Compacta Black with editing for a closer match.
Don



Agree could be made from Compacta Black. If you slope _a_, _e_ and _n_ they seem to match. Use sloped _o_ to make _b_ and _d_.
Don



Sign, so nothing identical.
Closest match for a spurred Roman is Old Tom Spurred. Little editing needed to approximate the sign, except for _G_ and _A_.

Suggested font: Old Tom Spurred
