The only reference I found said FORMATT was the name of a company that made press-on type, it was not the name of a typeface.

Are you thinking of Berthold Formata?

Formatt was offered by Identikal Fonts once upon a time (2002). It is referenced here about halfway down the page:

You might try to contact Identikal directly. I did not find it offered on the website though.

Good luck!
