What font is the Q (and O) in this picture?

It seems that the rest of the text apart from Q and O are from some other font. I’m only interested in finding the same Q as in this. Some online font indetifyer said Kinghorn 205, but it’s not right being a slab serif. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: This is from Marimekko's campaign.

Thank you anyways! Your tip for that kind of Q used in typewriter fonts helped a lot!

I actually found the original font. It's probably Marimekko Sans 2009 by Tomi Haaparanta. That picture is from Marimekko's (a Finnish fashion company) campaign. So the font is commissioned work for this company and it can't be purchased anywhere. The closest font for the Q is from the same Finnish typeface designer Tomi Haaparanta: Suomi Slab Serif. It's not a 100% match, but close enough for my purposes and it can be purchased.

Here is "Marimekko Sans 2009": http://luc.devroye.org/TomiHaaparanta-MarimekkoSans-2009.png
There is also a Slab serif version "Marimekko 2009": http://luc.devroye.org/TomiHaaparanta-Marimekko-2009.png
(The latter is more commonly used in Marimekko's marketing.)

If you check the source of their website, you can indeed see that MarimekkoSans is a match and has that "Q".
