High-waisted geometric sans serif

Bald Condensed27 February 2015 · 02:41

I found this one on the teaser poster for Focus. Besides the very high waist of the B, G, P & R the awkward W and narrow M throw me off. Looks like either a vintage geometric sans or a freeware/Google font.

I already looked at some digitisations of Edward Johnston’s Underground alphabet and some engraved sans serifs like Sackers etc.

Thank you. I didn’t know this one. :)

I referenced this one mainly because of Brown LL.
Don recently initiated a discussion on 'High Waist R sans-serif with straight leg' where, among many others, both Brown and Biko are listed.
