Font / Typeface question

[vakkotaur]

Have a look at a few photos of ACME parcels (here, here, and here) and look at the lettering for ACME and the names of the recipients. Stencil were used for those, but I do not know what the name of the font or typeface is. I would like to know this, or the name of something at least close.

As can be seen in the photographs, lower case letters are not needed, though some non-letters (such as the ampersand) are needed. The letters all have rounded edges or ends.

Any ideas what this is, or have a name for something similar?

Looks like VAG Rounded Bold

I would say add a title to these. Who they are. If you can some kind of address also

Makes it more official.

Also add on the packaging "must be signed for" or something else like that.

The lack of a title (what it is) is deliberate. It should be something of a mystery. The parcels are labeled as simply as they are as that is all that is really needed and the amount of work involved in the stencilling - I don't have whole words or names in a form that I can just hit with a shot of spraypaint, nice as that might be for me. And notice that when I can, I do put ACME directly on the box, not on the Astrobrite "Solar Yellow" paper. Also, simpler is generally more "toony" which is a good thing here.

Even if I had the ideal font installed, I still have yet to badger, threaten, cajole, and whack into shape the barely functional irritation that is CUPS (http://vakkotaur.livejournal.com/380912.html) into actually printing anything beyond the test page. I'm looking at not just computer based printing but other methods of getting at least the ACME name on the boxes.

Look for fonts with "Rounded Bold" in their names. There are quite a few of them that will at least resemble this one.

I think there's one called something like "Arial MT Rounded Bold" that comes with either Windows or Microsoft Office that would be a fairly good match.
