I would really love to know what this font is, if it is, in fact, a font. The “head automat1ca” text, please. Thanks.

My guess is custom lettering — but some signs point to influence of Helvetica Light (turn that M sideways and you’ll see what I mean ;)) and also House’s Chalet series.

The M looks like Helvetica’s “3” turned sideways.. and the 1 for the “I” matches Helvetica, too.. so I’m guessing it is just a strange, customized mix-n-match of Helvetica and Chalet.

Wow, that’s pretty good. The things I noticed, however, are …

- The “1” in Helvetica needed a bit of tweaking to get it looking right.
- The “u” and “h” in Chalet don’t look like those in the image.

Thank you, by the way. :)

Do you happen to know where I may find that font?

It has been featured in the very first ‘issue’ of DesignerShock, and the book Trigger ( Die Gestalten ), but, sadly enough, the site is no longer available.. ( And, It doesnt seem to be one of the typefaces featured at DS4Sale.. ) Maybe contact Stefan Gandl / Neubau Berlin.?
