Looking at the dotted type that has the date of when the film expires and its product code I believe?
I initially thought that it was stamped, however the black ink is the same as the rest of the printed text. It's confusing as a lot of the dots are too close together in some places, which makes me wonder how quickly it was put together. It's not the cleanest typeface out there but its an interesting digital sans serif that I haven't come across before.

Type Journal - City Of London School
Humanist serif font used here and i'm not sure what font it is exactly. It fits it well with the statue/english shield of arms above as it looks like quite a prestigious font.

Type Journal - Clash
Clash Magazine uses a very heavy/bold sans serif typeface for their logo. I'm certain that its custom made as the L cuts off the stroke, that sits on the baseline, to fit around the outside of the letter A.
Type Journal - Huf Script
This is a hand written serif typeface. It's a script styled logo for the skateboard company 'huf'. The H and F feature elegant looking rounded loops.
Type Journal - Supreme
Supremes logo is a oblique geometric sans serif font. It's a custom version of futura apparently. People also suggest that the font could be a variant of century gothic.

Type Journal - Graffiti throw up
Another piece of graffiti. I discovered this graffiti yard not too far away from my halls. The throw up on the left spells out 'EARL' or 'EARi' ? With graffiti you can never be 100% sure what somethings spell out or say because of the way they have emphasised anatomical elements of the letters. They don't think about making the letters clear for people to understand, sometimes the case is how they can be creative with these elements and transform them into extremely exaggerated letters.

Type Journal - Sled Dog Van
The words 'Born To Ride and Sled Dog on this van are in a font similar to that of Cooper Black. This typeface on the van is a old style serif. It also has properties of slab serif fonts and transitional serifs as their is a contrast in line thicknesses and the serifs have a transition with curves.
Type Journal - Planet Organic
I had never come across one of these stores until I visited London recently. This font is unusual as the cross bar across the A is so low and then the N has it's diagonal stroke high up too. Its a sans serif font, of which I can't name. I personally don't think it works to well either on this shop. It needs to be simplified, I also don't like how the word organic has been placed vertically.
Type Journal - Nikon
This is an old Nikon camera case. Over the years Nikon have altered the font they use for their identity. This font is an oblique bold sans serif font. I'm certain that this font would also be custom made too.
Type Journal - Walleater
My friends band 'walleater' has a hand written sans serif typeface in use for their logo at the moment. The 'a' and 'e' in the type don't have any holes within them or counters. I personally really like the type they have created for the band, but it isn't the more readable as the letters appear to be merged a little. See the 'e' and 'r'. they are a littler merged together, making it a little hard to make out the anatomical elements of the letters.
Type Journal - Philips
Philips uses a thick, bold humanist sans serif type face. I believe it to be a variation of gill sans.
Various sources on the internet claim that PHILIPS uses gill sans. Here is a link to a pdf file on their brand guidelines, which gives away more evidence that it could be a variation of Gill Sans as it instructs workers to use Gill Sans for headings. But even if it isn't Gill Sans, this font is very effective and looks powerful. It has impact.

Type Journal - Woodbook
This typeface used for the title of this book is a slab serif stencil font. Parts of the characters are separated by lines to give it that stencil effect.
Type Journal - West Yorkshire Cameras
West Yorkshire Cameras use a block looking sans serif typeface. This font is a bit condensed and stands tall. I believe that this font used for a camera shop creates a simple and attractive aesthetic that stands out to the audience. I'm not sure on the font used, however the ends of the stems/strokes are slightly rounded off. It reminds me of bebas but it isn't that font.
Type Journal - NAILS
This is one my band t-shirts. The band 'NAILS' is a heavy hardcore rock band and font that they use works well for the music that they create. I'm not aware of the specific font that they but I'm struggling to categorise this font. I'd say its a gothic, but not in the sense of being a sans serif font, but the aesthetic it displays. It's an old styled serif font that looks almost medieval. It's very dark, quite grungey.
Type Journal - Arizona Ice Tea
Arizona Iced Tea uses a hand written typeface for its company, which has a back drop shadow placed behind it that adds to the typeface by making it lift off the background. The typeface is started off with the capital A and then the rest is lowercase, except for the Z which is again a capital letter and sits in the middle of the word 'AriZona'. This typeface is almost quite decorative as well, which fits into the way the cans are designed. They are made with floral and quite vivd designs that catch the audiences eyes.
Type Journal - Frank Sinatra
This frank Sinatra vinyl has a condensed sans serif font on the front cover. I'd say that this is a Gothic sans serif. The bar across the letter A is very low.
Type Journal - Analogue Type Poster
A poster I own. This typeface is hand rendered. This sans serif looks like its been painted by hand or perhaps done with a graphic tablet. I can tell its not an installed hand written font because each of the capital E's are different from one another. The strokes have different lengths.
Type Journal - hesco
Hesco logo spotted from the motorway on leeds football stadium. The type is a bold sans serif that is customised for the logo. The H, E are connected by the bar coming across from the H and then the S is joined from the borrom stroke on the E. The H also has a descending stroke and ascending strokes because of how high the bar is positioned to join up the E.
Type Journal - Liberty Park
This is where I live in leeds currently. This is my halls, 'Liberty Park'. The signage used outside is presented in regular Copper plate. Which is a serif font, that has a gothic style because of the consistency of the line weight/thickness. The font has small glyphic serifs.
The typeface shows an unusual combination of influences. The glyphs are quite similar to stone carving, the wide horizontal axis is quite like old Victorian display types, yet the rest is far cleaner and leaves a crisp impression in letterpress or offset printing.
