Sorry, I got this and it looks like the font that is used on the credits for
Star Trek: The Next Generation. Not exactly what I was looking for, but being a font packrat, I'll take it anyways. It's not a bad job and the person said that he had made the font himself for ATM. I wonder what font editor he used.

At any rate, Crillee wasn't exactly what I was looking for. For an example
of Microgramma (or Microgamma, etc.) look at the typeset they use to stencil
the names of the Ships on the hull or the names of the type of station.

It is used fairly much in the interior of the starships in both the movies
and the new series.
