Help with font

[unclebun]

Have this one that I need help with. First thought was Optima, but it's not that. As you can see, it's not an outline font originally; that was done as an effect.

It appears to be ITC Mixage Bold or Black that has been inlined and squeezed. Here's an unslanted, inverted and filled reworking of it.

It didn't make a perfect match, but darn close enough!

I too came up with ITC Mixage ...(standard bold) and matched image perfectly.

My first thought was Formata. But again, artificially squeezed and sheared for that low rent look.

The "K" is completely different as well as the terminal structure of each letter in Formata.

How about Poppl Laudatio? It's old typeface from Berthold that was bundled in with early versions of Adobe Illustrator. It's similar to Optima, but actually looks more like the OP's sample image.

Not really. The reworked image I uploaded was made from the vehicle picture from the OP. Below is Poppl Laudatio where you will be able to see differences in all the terminals, a lack of a slope on the legs of the "M", a weighted stroke on the "S" ... all substantially different from OP's sample.
