I was told this sample was pulled from a 1960s-era magazine. The closest matches I've found are: Estragon, Kabel, Kaapeli, FF Super Grotesk, Linux Biolinum, Stellar, and Geometric 231. All have similar elements but are not a match. If anyone recognizes it, I'd be very grateful. Thanks so much!

Mostly it looks like Kabel to me.

Do you have the original? This one looks like the dog's dinner

"Dog's dinner"! Wow, haha.

Here's the original:

And here's what the same letters look like in Kabel:

Very similar but I'm spotting some key discrepancies.

Thanks for that. Yeah, still no perfect match.

There's more than one Kabel, though. Kabel Condensed from DSType seems a better match

Thanks! I think that's probably as close as I'll get.
