Historic Sign Font
This sign was supposed to look like it had Inuit influences. I can add the little triangles and squares, but need a font that looks as close as possible to the lettering. Thank you for any help anyone can give me!

As close as I could get: ParaGraph International/Black GroteskC. Some similarities. Some dissimilarities (notably the /G).

The C and the G look as though they're based on circles with the left and right edges sliced off (which seems vaguely familiar, but I can't think where I might have seen it).
