Almost Glypha or ITC Lubalin Graph

Looks like Stymie Bold, too.

I’d say a customised Memphis Bold.

No, not Memphis. W and S don’t match. Stymie is closer but not exactly it. Maybe customized.

Keep an open mind and look at the W and S a little closer. Imagine the addition of a central slab (W & E) and the pulling of a couple of points (S) ?!?

I have to admit, my mind isn’t all that open today. Memphis Bold at least seems to have the right weight. And I overread the “customised“.

Dont’ worry. Here in the background, black and white, is the Nike Witness. In blue, at 87% opacity, is Bitstream Stymie Bold.
[edit] PS. Comparing a text written white on black to one written black on white is tricky, because of optical illusions.

Yep.
