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. Link to an article with this view http://magazine.good.is/articles/how-chop-suey-fonts-sell-a-fictional-china

Suggested font: China Doll

Jul 31, 2015 at 10:38  [reply]  What fonts are these?

If I recall correctly, at least one of these fonts, Lousianne, is a pirated copy of the digital outlines in Salut, which was designed by Heinrich Johannes Maehler and is published by Monotype
Intellectual property law some countries, if I understand it correctly, does not prohibit making digital fonts based on printed specimens -- I do it my self -- but does make it illegal to copy the digital outlines of in a published font, which are protected as computer software.

Jul 28, 2015 at 22:52  [reply]  Indentify Raider Font?

Comparing Zrnic to _raider_
* has sharp instead of curved corners on lower rhs of _a_ and _d_
* letters are wider than _raider_
* thickness of vertical stroke of Zrinc Bold looks about the same as _raider_
* thickness of horizontal stroke of Zrinc Regular looks about the same as _raider_
* length of clipped stroke circling counter is much shorter than _raider_
However, Zrnic Bold and Regular could be combined and edited to make a version of _raider_
I have seen nothing closer.

The _M_ and _N_ in _MOST TRUSTED BRANDS_ have some similarity to Clairvaux

In my opinion _MOST TRUSTED BRANDS_ is probably lettering derived mainly from Günter Gerhard Lange's Solemnis of 1953.
