Blue note Cover Sans serif

Luca DB

Hello Tyophiles.

I have tried (and failed) to identify the two sans serifs on this Bluenote cover

the typeface used for the artists names seems similar to Trade or Franklin gothic – but the "G" is clearly different

I can't find any match for the the fat bold type..

Many thanks!

Font: 
monotype grotesque / Knockout
Solved By: 

For the artists names, I'm probably wrong and even if it sounds weird, I see Arial, distorted a bit. For title, I'd have said something close/like Alternate Gothic but many details are off and mainly /J over curved terminal. Best one I could get is Knockout (from No. 66 to 68) using the alternate /R (as seen here). Still searching.

EDIT: Seeing now Kevin took the same track with Knockout so probably not so bad. But nothing about Arial...

Alternate Gothic is a good modern revival of this style.

Closest matches I can come up with are:

http://www.fontbureau.com/fonts/Vonness/ [you'd have to edit the angled terminals]
https://commercialtype.com/typefaces/giorgio/sans [Heavy; edit the spur on the G]
http://www.typography.com/fonts/knockout/styles/ [68 Full Featherweight; edit the R]

If it weren't for the R, I'd say the artists' names were set in Univers:

But it is more likely that it is Monotype Grotesque:

Aktiv Grotesk is also an option:

Ryuk, I wasn't aware that Knockout had an alternate R. Thanks for the info....

Amazing!

I will go with monotype grotesque and knockout 68

Many thanks Ryuk and kthomps5 !
