Looking for the font that is commonly used in infomercials from 2000's / 2010's, specifically the font used in this TimeLife commercial

Currently looking for this kind of blocky font that got used in a lot of infomercials from the 2010's. Often times they get used in conjunction with a blue screen when the infomercial reaches the point where it gives information on how to purchase the product. Preferably looking for a free font. photo I'm referring to

The link you provide shows a plethora of different fonts, however I assume you mean the bold sans visible in many of them. Judging by the |1|, that would be Helvetica (in any of its versions or derivatives), often stretched and generally mistreated.

If it’s not already on your computer, Heros is an open source interpretation.
