      It’s helvetica bold, the kerning is just slightly sqished and the letter height was stretched slightly.

    2. Naw, have another look at Plak Black Condensed. Maybe we should have a separate Plak entry for that style since it’s so different from Plak Black. We do have Extra Condensed. I’ll use that typeface tag for this one.
