Font Bureau's Garage Gothic (?)

Nope. :^/ Dunno what it is tho.

Reminds me of HTF Knockout series but can't find an exact match.

FF Kipp is also very close.

'Railroad Gothic' may be another alternate..

Dav, formlos

I think this is custom. It's the logo of the Baltic contemporary art centre in Gateshead, yeah? As far as I remember they had a full new typeface designed for use throughout their ID system. All of those suggestions are very close matches though.

EDIT: quick bit of Googling reveals this article:

The Baltic is being branded to such an extent that the three-metre high ceramic letters that have been affixed to the facade for 50 years have now been made a protected typeface 'BALTIC Affisch'. Its font now adorns everything, from the B.Open banners to the B.Crew t-shirts worn by the designated helpers. It's all part of the crusade for City of Culture 2008, with Newcastle and Gateshead trying to develop a cultured identity.

So I guess it's based on the vernacular lettering originally used on what was the Baltic Flour Mill ... interesting.

And another here:

BALTIC Affisch
The letters are based on an old design form from the 1940s and
now form a protected typeface called BALTIC Affisch. The font
was based on old wooden blocks, used to print posters and
newspapers. The basic original design was produced by Ulf
Greger and Henrik Nygren.
‘BALTIC was an old industrial building, rough, black and white and
simple. So that is the basis of the choice for the graphic identity.’
Sune Norgdren, Director.

I also thought it looked like wood type from the rounding and the chipped corner on the "B".

"...The font was based on old wooden blocks, used to print posters and
newspapers."

I don't know how "Protected" this font can be. I have seen type like it a million times in industrial areas.
