It looks like the Super weight.
Weingart once told me the story of finding Job Cases of Akzidenz in a dust print lab in Basel. In those days, Ruder was his teacher and used mostly Univers. The trasure trove of lead type in AG made Weingart jump for joy.

AG was his favorite face. He loves the bolder weights. The one he used was a lead font, however.

the other type on this poster looks like AG but the part that I am confused by is the numbers the word “KUNST”. They have a much more rounded and bulbous shape than AG which is what i’m looking for.

Perhaps VAG Rounded, the Volkswagon face? The other thing is just distortion from blowing up type with the benday screen over it?

I reckon there are a couple of IDers who must be glad I’m back, ya bunch of gloryhunters. :^P

Yves, Sorry to covet your badge of glory so much. When you have been beat out a million times by those much better than me, and have had but one success, you at least want that one paltry victory to be noted by the Belgian Master :-)
Glad you are home safe, dude!

I was never really away, but maintaining the Type ID Board became a bit too much of a handful. :^/
