ID this please... can you imagine this type used in the headlines for a newspaper?

unknown

Looks like Barmeno to me.

Either that or FF Sari. The two fonts are very similar because they are by the same designer, Hans Reichel, who did Sari after failing to come to an agreement over his earlier design with Berthold Types when they acquired the H. Berthold type library. (I only just learned this today here.)

FF Sari dont match (the R for example). I think I think you are right about Barmeno. The sample I posted must have been deformed this looks like bermeno at its 80% width. Thank you very much Mr. Simonson.
And what do you think about a typeface like this being used as newspaper headline? I post here more of that newspaper page:

unknown

It seems a bit informal for a newspaper, but it's quite legible (or it seems to be--I don't read Spanish :-).

unknown

Yes it is legible.

It seems this newspaper loves distorted type. I think all type has been horizontally scaled.

What I don't like is the sans serif (futura?) for the pull quotes. Especially since it doesn't match the text font.

unknown

The geometric sans is Century Gothic.
That whole page looks odd BTW.
Univers Condensed for body text? :-/
