some form of Helvetica? Except the t doesn't work for that....

it's not that easy, unfortunately ;)

I think the closest you could get to this is the typeface DN Grotesk which Pangea design did for a swedish newspaper. The black weight of this typeface is especially similar to your sample.
Not so much here, but still a small overview:

hmm I don't see too much of a resemblance there. Helvetica would be closer. Guess it's one these old fonts that got lost in the digital aera.

Thanks anyway.
