Possibly Rockwell Extra Bold distorted in multiple ways.

Also possibly Giza. Tough to say with that sample.

Please use a descriptive title next time.

Did you look at the Topaz (I think that's the name) font family at Hoefler & Frere-Jones?

Two further requests: 1) Please use a more descriptive title (you can edit it) to help IDers find posts at a later time. 2) Try to provide smaller images. There are shareware graphics applications, like GraphicConverter that allow you to change image size, if you don't have any other way to do it.

The H&FJ font I was thinking of is called Knox

MIke, I think you mean Ziggurat. Topaz is a sans, but it's too heavy.

Hi Paul, I thought Topaz was the name of the family, but it was just one of the Shades family, which includes Knox, a chiseled face that resembles the sample style. You are probably right that Ziggurat is a slab style more like the sample letterforms.

Yep. I figured it was either Knox or Ziggurat that you had in mind.
