 No not kidding, got the info from MyFonts. See the various purchase options and the various background infos: http://www.identifont.com/find?font=Murray+Hill
Identifont says designed in 1956.
And, no, the abbreviation stands for American typefounding agglomeration:American typefounding agglomeration formed in 1892, eventually containing most of the American typefounding industry. ATF owns the rights to one of the world’s greatest libraries of original typefaces, largely directed and created by Morris Fuller Benton.
Foundries that were incorporated into ATF include: Barnhart Brothers & Spindler (1911); Binny & Ronaldson (1892); Boston Type Foundry (1892); Bruce Type Foundry (1901); Central Type Foundry (1893); Farmer, Little & Co. (1892); Inland Type Foundry (1912).
By the 1920s ATF was the dominant player in the world’s printing equipment market. Not just fonts, but entire printing plants were on offer. This strong position did not continue, due to the ever-changing nature of the printing industry.
Kingsley, a manufacturer of imprinting and marking equipment, acquired ATF in 1986, and the type division became Kingsley/ATF Type Corporation. The foundry closed in 1993 with an ingominious backruptcy auction. These days the only sign of ATF fonts is in licensing deals with experienced digital foundries such as Bitstream and Adobe.
There were attempts to regain their lost position at the forefront of the type industry, including an interesting attempt to get PostScript Type 3 fonts to handle optical size differences. (quote from MyFonts, too.

It look's similar to the Thunderbird (Bitstream foundry), but details are different.
Sorry.

Well, LA is close at heart. I used to live almost around the corner of that famous foundry.

some of the Fenotype fonts look similar to the Motorhead lettering. Especially Futu and Halo.
I'm thinking the font could be from a Japanese foundry. I know I have seen it before.

I think Ivan was just suggesting Fontmesa as Foundry which has fonts with a similar style. I, too, am thinking that this is no typeface but lettering.

This one is called Jonah from the Canada Type Foundry - a commercial font.

That's difficult Angela. Which directions do you want to go? Serif? Script? Calligraphy? luxury? Show some ideas of the general layout and maybe we can help you (but no guarantee).
In some cases the Emigre-foundry has some nice faces. Browse through their portfolio.

The "LET" says, it's a font by the Letraset foundry.
It was a goodie in some Micrografx programs, e.g. Designer or PicturePublisher.
Additionally you'll find it here: http://people.freenet.de/commoc/jokerman.zip
