Can someone let me know what typeface this is?

These are definitely Helvetica bold shapes, but there being so many different versions of Helvetica and its derivatives I'm having trouble finding an exact match. Maybe it is Nimbus Sans L Bold with some Illustrator-type outlining in black.

Looks like FS Albert to me

Brian, definitely Helvetica?
Are you sure you looked at the right sample?

I think I might have been looking at the wrong picture sample, a photo of a sign saying "Georgia" in outlined letters. Now when I click the link again I see a simple black-and-white sample of "could", which does look like FS Albert. Maybe it was some cache problem. Sorry for the confusion.

This was the sample I was looking at: http://typophile.com/files/IMAG0081.jpg

My mistake.
