Anyone have any info on this sans in a David Carson poster? Sort of DIN-Like but I cant put my finger on it.

 

Many thanks

While hunting through some more of his work i've discovered what I think must be some more examples of the font - Does this help jog anyones memory? That italic g' stands out.

Took me forever to remember that I had David Carson’s book (The End of Print: The Grafik Design of David Carson) on my shelf.

Thanks to its colophon, I was led to New Frank, by Miles Newlyn.

Thanks for posting these, and for reminding me of Miles’ type design....
