It looks to me like this is a modified version of Helvetica. Most of the characters (like the S) look just like Helvetica, but others (like the G and R) which have a different overall form are not as well-drawn and, in fact, look like crudely modified Helvetica characters. At least to my eye.

That's a most accurate guess! Thank you.

I still think they may have combined fonts on both identities though. The lowercase L in the case of the Design Museum is different to the l in all weights of Schulbud.
