Well, I was hoping that snigglefritz would discover the font while
finding a useable image.

There are a number of fonts named Zephyr - the closest might be Kathay
Gabor's Zephyr at P22 fonts; but that's not it either. The font is
really Otto Maurer's "Vampire"

http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/otto-maurer/vampire/

which INCLUDES those light streaks!

That's done with FontCreator from an image of the Gabor Zephyr
character set. FontCreator is the font equivalent of an auto-digitizer :)
