Graphic Mag - Logo Typeface Identification

Hi,

I'm having difficulty identifying the typeface used for Graphic Mag's logo. Can anyone identify it? See images below. While you're at it check out their work as well. www.graphicmag.kr

Looks similar to
Nobel Bold designed by Tobias Frere-Jones, Sjoerd Hendrik de Roos and published by Font Bureau.


The magazine logo seems to be slightly heavier and wider.
MyFonts Blurb:
"Nobel offers personal variations on strict Bauhaus geometry.
In 1929, three years after the Futura release, Sjoerd Henrik de Roos at Amsterdam explored alternative character sets to enliven basic Futura forms.
The Nobel series was designed for Font Bureau by Tobias Frere-Jones, who fondly views Nobel as ‘Futura cooked in dirty pots & pans’"

Still unsolved (here and here).
I'm pretty convinced it is as simple as "Futura Bold with /C customized from 2 mirrored /G's top half parts".

Ryuk. I think you're right. I just mocked it up. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to just ask Graphics Mag how they made their logo. Cheers!
