Help identify font
I was recently given four cases of type. One I cannot identify. Photo of proof attached. The case has caps & figs only.
Thanks.

Its called Onyx (in the UK at least) and it does have a lowercase.
It is indeed Onyx, designed by Gerry Powell for the American Type Founders Co. in 1937. It has a lowercase as well as a companion italic (designed by Sol Hess for Monotype in 1939). In Europe, Onyx was cast as Arsis by the Amsterdam Type Foundry.
