Question

Answer 1

Pike by Dave Farey from Panache Graphics.

Good catch, Tecno. See my comment on James’ answer for the original.

Answer 2

I don't know what the original was, but on my computer I have it as OPTI-Pacific Regular. I don't know whether you can still get this (legally or not, perhaps the question is moot for OPTI-CastCraft fonts...). There's also Beatnik for a narrower take on the same idea.
