Just out of curiousity, what do you make of this typeface? It's from a book with reproductions of Jan Tschicholds book covers. This particular one is dated to 1946. Is it the old Haas Grotesk?

The closest digital interpretation might be FF Bau
Yes of course! Thanks Joerg & Stewf,
Are there any proper samples of the Haas Grotesk btw?
Cheers,

Maybe ask Christian Schwartz.
