Perhaps this is a font that did not make the transition to digital?
A narrow Didone with some similarity to Gary Powell's Onyx, which is available from various foundries, aka Arsis in the URW version.

09/11/2015 alle 10:29  [risposta]  Help with both of this fonts.

Closest digital font I found is Latino Elongated.
Perhaps the yellow Latin serif lettering in this recent compilation were lifted from the cover of one of his albums during the pre-digital era.

This seems to be an EMI cover, but I don't know when it was produced.

Kabarett is URW's version Alan Meek's Cabaret of 1980 -- without the fancy fill or the shadow effect.
The design is derived from Auriol's pre WW I Robur.
I concur with Kabarett as the best digital match.
I note the date of 1982 and suspect that this version was extracted from Cabaret -- which was available in 1982 as Letraset rub-down contact sheets, and re-lettered by hand rather than distorted optically or digitally to this wider version. Many minor differences.
I suspect that the _K_ is an "improvement" by the logo maker.
BTW the _K_ in Cabaret and Kabarett is the same in both fonts, and different from the logo.

04/11/2015 alle 23:40  [risposta]  Airfrance logo font ? PLEASE !

Excellence in Motion Bold, manually expanded 120 percent



The casual viewer would not spot differences, other than the angled instead of vertical terminals on _C_
The logo wordmark has obviously been massaged to create the final product.

The Air France website uses a font called Excellence in Motion.
