Hi. I'm looking for the font in "VIDEO UNTERHALTUNGS-SYSTEM". Help to identify would be really great.

Name of the font would be enough.

as its from the 80s it will be an older font (its not Helvetica, Avantgarde or Gotham)

Thank you Riccardo - Granby seems to fit.
Been searching a free Ganby font that fits, but no success.

The best I found so far without paying money (its for personal use) is Gill Sans MT Bold.

any suggestions?

Granby has its quirks, and, despite being widely used for some time,* it was far less influential than its "relative" Gill Sans.

So similar free typefaces are far more likely inspired by the latter (and its quirks) than by Granby.

That said, at least a couple of them don't have a Gill Sans |R|: Amiko and Cabin.

That London Tube typeface

Thank you, that was the hint I needed. I've found the "Keep Calm and Carry On" free font which is really close.
