I am not sure whether a greek font is something that users of this forum can recognize, but all my greek forum attempts failed.
I would like to know if anyone can recognize this font.
It looks like a greek helvetica but all the greek helveticas I have found do not have this kind of gamma (γ).
Usually it looks like a y but this font has a more rounded lower part.
Thank you very much.
Maybe it’s a customized version. It’s definetely not one of the Greek Linotype Helveticas. 'closing sigma', 'pi' and 'nu' are also different here, plus the small tonos mark.
Thank you for the reply.
I have seen this font used elsewhere that is why I think it is not customised.
There are more similarities to Akzidenz Grotesk Pro Medium, which the design of the figure 9 suggests. But 'pi' and 'gamma' still look different.
You are right. The endings of 9 are not horizontal like Helvetica's. So we are looking at a greek interpretation of another font.

Yes... and No... Even if I'm clearly not a specialist of Greek fonts. My first thought was "this is not Helvetica, /9 is off. looks more like Akzidenz Grotesk". But after checking the Berthold Akzidenz-Grotesk Pro+ Greek character set, /γ was still off (and many more actually such as /ɛ). So really don't know what it could be... May be asking to specialists like Cannibal Fonts would worth a shot...
It could be an old greek version of Akzidenz Grotesk.
I found out that it is probably a greek version of a BMW custom typeface.
Could well be, yes.
Turns out it most probably is a very old greek font.
You can see it exists from 1969 in this picture where I combined alla the samples I found.
Eureka!
