@moyogo @codinghorror Fairplex, by Zuzana Licko. https://www.emigre.com/Fonts/Fairplex
@aardvark017489 I’m sorry, I don’t know this one. Try https://fontid.co.
@iestynx No prob, tho you can also get maybe faster results on our site since there are other experts who are also active there: https://fontid.co
@iestynx For the feet, emulsion, and meters numbers? I think this is a crash numbering machine, not a typewriter or standard printer’s font. Some fonts have been made to emulate these: https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/7675/crash-numbering

Font ID Power Tip from @akira1975: You can see what fonts are embedded in a PDF with “Document Properties”, but you may be able to dig out font creator info if you go to, “Use print production ☞ Preflight ☞ Options ☞ Browse Internal Structure of All Document Fonts”

@santlz If the logo is that old it’s most likely custom lettering, not a font. That said, here are some typefaces with the top-heavy effect:
