Groteskly boring
I have posted a couple of pics before on this topic. I am still looking for the font/fonts that have influenced/comprised the following logos:
Here were some initial thoughts from the two previous posts (www.typophile.com/node/17379, www.typophile.com/node/16442)
Sneakers
Radiant
Modula Bold/Modularity
Antique Olive
Bullet
CA Magic Hour (closest yet)
Something by Karl Gerstner?
“It may be an older proprietary font for a signmaking device like the Gerber SignMaker.”
Anyone?

They look kind of like Serpentine, except that has little spike serifs.
I was not aware ICI was a petrolium company. They only sell paint out where I am.

URW Charter Oak is very similar to many of your examples:

Nice collection, Nick. I am also reminded of Peter Bruhn’s London.
