What kind of Helvetica or inspiration is this?
This is the type use in the «Visual Grammar» of Christian Leborg.
I really like the terminals of this «kind of» Helvetica.
Thank you.

(x) Type use in the "Visual Grammar" of Christian Leborg - Akzidenz-Grotesk {Tiff}
This is probably Akzidenz Grotesk. It matches closely to what I have as AG Old Face Medium.
> What kind of Helvetica or inspiration is this?
It's the other way around, Jean-François, Helvetica was specifically designed to compete with Akzidenz-Grotesk and is as such inspired by it. (I should know this stuff -- I'm getting interviewed on national radio the day after tomorrow about 50 years of Helvetica and the new Helvetica film ;^).
Where can we listen?

Radio 1, Belgian national radio. Don't know yet if it's live or if it's going to be broadcast at a later date. It will be in Dutch though... :^/
