It almost looks like Avenir, cooked in dirty pots & pans. ;)

It almost looks like Avenir

You’re right. Which means it’s similar to Gotham (but with a longer descender) and Neutraface too.

Gotham is pretty close, you're right, though, the descender is longer and something squashy is going on with that c.

That /c/ made me think of Avenir. And I was trying to connect this with a quote of J. Hoefler about Nobel.
Anyway, it seems to be Nobel, but DTL’s version.
