Sofia Pro isn't free.

URW Gothic L is a close match, but the dot over the i is squared and it only has four weights.

But it's under a goofy "You can modify it any way you want to, as long as you change the name" license so you can round the dot on the i or adjust kerning or whatever yourself.

Original is in Postscript, you can probably find converted TTF or OTF elsewhere if you need to.

I think I got my copy from GNU GhostScript 6.0

Look in the archive for gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz

a010013l.pfb -URW-Gothic L-book-r-normal
a010015l.pfb -URW-Gothic L-demi bold-r-normal
a010033l.pfb -URW-Gothic L-book-o-normal
a010035l.pfb -URW-Gothic L-demi bold-o-normal

You'll need the PFMs or AFMs as well depending on your system.

I think it's a derivative of Monotype No. 94, with an updated C.

A search for "Pointed" or "Pointed Serif" on many font sites will get you fonts that are similar, but not the same. Especially the A or the C.

Maybe someone else may do better? It's a nice typeface.

Jul 16, 2016 at 15:16 [reply] Similar Font?

You can try Almeria Extra Bold.

I think there are versions of Americana that can be used commercially, even if URW++ does not allow it.

First digitized as a Bitstream Postscript font.

Could be Browser Settings.
Find download options for your browser and tell it to prompt you to open or save files.

Could be associations.
Right click on downloaded font (TTF, OTF, or PFM (with PFD in same folder) and say "Open With" - "Choose Default Program" - then say "Windows Font Viewer" which is located here:

C:\Windows\System32\Fontview.exe

If you are looking for a not handwritten font, Expressa Serial, Expressa EF, or Xpressive has similar features, but the y is very different.

If this is your handwriting, I'd suggest you use a "make your own handwriting font" program, like My Script Font (free) http://www.myscriptfont.com/

Jul 16, 2016 at 04:41 [reply] VEVO Font?

This one's harder to identify than I thought it would be. I thought: "Easy! No Prob!"

It's obviously a simple Futura based font. The e is similar to Soin Sans or Publica Sans. The v is matched in several Futura fonts.

...But the e in the fonts I've found so far with the matching v don't match your sample.

This one's got me working. I'm even breaking a sweat. (not from the work finding the thing, it's just hot and muggy where I am right now.)

Modified Nexa Light Free and Nexa Bold Free.
The "Stargate" style A might be U+0245 "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED V" but I haven't checked the font. to see if it's included.

Suggested font: Nexa
