Look at the R, the G and the S. This is Helvetica and/or Swiss 721 or one of the many clones around. Try condensed bold variations.

Not a font. That is, not one font but a weird mix of fonts by a signmaker that ran out of space. Who knows. The E can be the Humanist 521 Extra Bold Condensed (BT) The A can be the Swiss 721 Black (BT) The L can be the Flyer Black Condensed (Fantasia) The I can be most anything The N can be the Newhouse DT Extra Black (DTP Types) The G can be the Franklin Gothic Heavy The M can be the Newhouse DT Extra Black The O can be most anything The T can be the Franklin Gothic Heavy or the Flyer Black Condensed The R can be the Futura Extra Black Condensed (or one of it's many variations) The S can be the Futura Extra Black Condensed (or one of it's many variations - probably the Flyer Black Condensed - see the lower left side of the S) If this would in the end happen to be a font after all then at least we know where the font maker has been borrowing ...

Oh well, what can I say about Adrian Frutiger's best known font? Ok, let's say it's a Swiss typeface, with a Swiss design, with its own Swiss clarity. It's probably one of the most readable (legible?) in the whole set of typefaces. I think it's cool – not in the meaning of stylish, but cool, as a thing thrown out of the fridge. It certainly makes its job well: it's been designed for CDG's airport signs and banners. Aside from that and road signs or very conservative logos and the small print – address and the like – in the stationery, I do not think I'd use it. Helvetica, to name another Swiss-made bestseller, has more flair to me and it's more versatile. (and yes, I do love Switzerland: the square flag, her William Tell and all the cows. And the lakes, the mountains, the weed)

Is there anything close to Formata Condensed, available in TrueType? It doesn't need to be perfect, just looking to get close, the numbers in this font are a bit unique as well. Thank you in advance!

For softlad, cause a condensed version was needed.

This has been puzzling me, at first glance it looks like a classic Swiss such as Helvetica, but it's got differences on the 'e' and 'a' terminals a bit like a modern Swiss-a-like such as Arial, yet I can see, especially from the 't', that it isn't Arial, it also looks a bit like Franklin Gothic but isn't. My guess is they customised Helvetica but I'd love to know for sure Anyone?

! In need of an ID of the font used in this image. The exact typeface would be great but if not, I'd appreciate some recommendations for something similar. I've gone through the 'Condensed' category here but couldn't find anything suitable. Thanks in advance.
