Yes, but I can’t seem to get past thinking all of the glyphs belong (came?) together...

I probably would have expected a curled tail on the “t,” given its AG roots... you too?

I was looking at some old Photo-Lettering Catalogs, where I think they call this style ’obround’(notice the oblong counter of the ’o’). Many of those types had a tailed ’t’, but some had tail-less alternate characters, so that suggests that this is consistent with a 60’s - 70’s advertising look. It was the ’r’ that seemed harder to match, and I don’t think I saw anything identical to this sample — not too surprising, considering that the samples in these books are just a few words, and not alphabet showings in most cases.

looks like a right old mixture to me... the numbers are bureau grotesque, the r has an antique olive flavour...

you’re right, there is a nice balance to everything, although the ’t’ jars somewhat

The skeleton reminds me of Westerveldt, but I can’t find any more iterations beyond this one.
