Probably custom.
Could have been made from Dragon EF Extra Bold, compressed in width until the vertical strokes are about the width of Dragon EF Semi Bold.
The leg on _K_ edited to a Fitz Quadrata style and some minor edits, such as to the upper terminal on _C_.

Suggested font: Dragon EF

Logo for Ronnie James Dio, a muscian in the group Black Sabbath who also performed independently as DIO



Lettering in a heavy metal gothic style.

For a fairly close match, but NOT THE FONT, see MHF Gothic

Close -- if the _r_ is made from _n_ with the bottom of the rhs clipped off -- but NOT THE FONT.

Suggested font: Rockwell

Did not find a font that is an exact match for these geometric letters.
There are a few similar fonts, including Ando SemiBold

Suggested font: Ando SemiBold



Compressed in width by user, who also did some editing -- including reversing the lhs of the macron on _A_, opening the counters on _C_ and _O_ and lowering the cross-stroke on _A_.

Design was originated by Albert Boton as Navy Cut for Hollenstein Phototypo [Nicholas Barker] in 1971 and issued by Mecanorma in 1986 [Typofacto]. For the original Navy cut in use see https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/32569/navy-cut

Navy Cut was purportedly inspired by letters on a life buoy.

Suggested font: Quanta East

Aug 24, 2017 at 23:22  [reply]  What's this font?

Looks like an excerpt from a cover of a French Montana recording called Unforgettable Featuring Swae Lee.

This is possibly original lettering from scratch.

It is also possible that it was derived from Banco, sloped left seven degrees, and width compressed to 60%.
The result would have had to be extensively edited to match these letters.

I don't know the date of the original release of the cover with this lettering, and I have no information as to whether there were any more letters in the form of a filmtype era font.

Suggested font: Banco

Somewhat narrower than regular width. Perhaps done by user.

Suggested font: Arial

Logo with custom lettering.
The flag serifs are in the style of Dynamo, a design originally produced around 1930 by K, Sommer for the Ludwig & Mayer foundry,
Note that Dynamo IS NOT THE FONT used in the image.

Identified font: Stop



Good choice for a substitute. The pro version has some useful alts.


Aug 18, 2017 at 23:20  [reply]  I NEED THIS FONT URGENT

The user compressed the width of the small caps from URW's STOP, made some adjustment to the curved vertical stroke widths and added a bottom portion to the stem of _R_.

Identified font: Stop SC

Bitstream's version of Excelsior. The other digital versions have a bulge in the lhs of the vertical stroke for _J_.
The numbers are slightly compressed by the user

Aug 16, 2017 at 15:35  [reply]  Font for this DATSUN?

Looks like a heavy weight of Morris Fuller Benton's Bank Gothic, except for the rounded counters.
Geom Graphic Bold -- NOT AN EXACT MATCH --has the rounded counters but also has rounded corners.
Tactic Sans Extended Black -- suggested by Remour -- is an approximation, but the mid-stroke on _S_ is diagonal not horizontal.
My check so far did not find an exact match to DATSUN.

Suggested font: Geom Graphic Bold
