It’s close to Gotham, Avenir (Avenir Next), Proxima Sans (Proxima Nova), but it doesn’t appear to be an exact match for any of those. I’m curious, as it’s pretty well done.
Yves, you’re giving me too much credit for the ID. Had I said, “it’s a pre-digital face from back in the day when everyone introduced a geometric face in the wake of Futura’s success,” then maybe I’d deserve a co-ID credit.
As it stands, this one should be all Jan!

edit: *I believe* it’s a pre-digital version of Futura Extra Bold with an alternate G. Mark Simonson will know more details...

It’s that Futura-lookalike with that G. Can’t think of the name of the font.

URW Grotesk is close.
But that’s not the one I meant.

Hehe. I knew I had seen this one here before. Google did the job.

Well-played, Jan.
