  "It looks like Davida with alternate characters or hand tweaking"

Where do you see evidence of alternates or tweaking (other than the 
basic graphic work that added an outline and pushed the letters together)?

If there are differences that I can't see, the source might also have 
been one of the many different implementations, such as those from

   Bitstream
   B&P Graphics [has a very different "A"]
   Image Club Graphics
   Linotype
   Solotype/Dover
   URW++

or Davida lookalikes, ripoffs, and clones with a different name include

   Inagodda (Silver Graphics)
   Victoriana Display Caps (Southern Software - SSI or SSK)
   Dascha (WSI/IMSI)
