From the National Museum of African American History & Culture, this is the training robe worn by Muhammad Ali at the 5th Street Gym in 1964. A friend was asking what typeface this was. I thought it would be easy until I started looking closer. Anyone who knows would be very much appreciated!
Thanks! I think that's probably as close as I'll get.
"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.

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!
