Sorry to say I recognised this.
The original font is called Laundrette available from MyFonts.

I saw this work yesterday, but I couldn't make up my mind what to say. It is a very nice font - no question about that. Without sufficient data I could not tell how much is your original design, and how much is borrowed. Since djnippa have answered this question, I can tell you the following: By doing Vista Porto (and many other font adaptations for FS) you have demonstrated your fine skills. I'm pretty certain, that you'll surprise us with a 100% genuine desing before long.

Thanks for your investigative skills, djnippa, and your kind words, Frodo7 and riccard0. The components were just so nice and brick-like... ;^) Oh well.

Naturally, I assumed it was a font or a variation of a font that already existed. After inputting the initial FontStruct letters I created [p o r t v i s a] into What The Font!, it failed to yield a font even remotely close. It is surprising to learn that the original font was one for sale on its own website(!).

The description and license has been amended to denote its non-original nature. No infringement of Chank fonts was intended.

I'm just glad someone could tell me what the original was...
