Not Stempel Elan. Not Confetti.

Ahh, maybe a film version of Signal.

Yes, with that e and n, it is clearly some version/descendant of Signal.
Note that Wege’s original version had three weights (with Script-Signal being lighter, and Block-Signal bolder). It also offered both forms of the lowercase r. It is a pity that the digital version is so limited.

I doubt it’s Signal. The p is so different. Maybe a photo-mock, ja.
There have been many scripts like this. Remember when we tried to ID Erik’s poster face, Florian? http://www.flickr.com/photos/kupfers/5927159773/
Like Elan, Mammut, Flott, Blizzard, Achtung …
I uploaded some more Signal.

Sure, it is not the metal Signal. What I am saying is that there are too many similarities to be not related to Signal.
Yes, I remember. Still, none of these come as close as Signal does.
