Identification of two typefaces
I’m hoping someone can help me identify these typefaces.
The first is 30 point, unlabeled.
The second is 24 point, labeled as “Plaza” but I can’t seem to find a reference to this (foundry/specimen).
No pin marks on either.
Thanks!
Page from a Kelsey catalog for Plaza type style.

Your “Plaza” sold by Kelsey is actually Monotype’s Slimline, designed by Sol Hess in 1939. There is an alternate A, K, M, N, W and Y.

Your unlabeled 30 pt. is most likely ATF’s Gothic Condensed No. 523 (originally Keystone’s Universal Gothic.
I originally thought it might be Alternate Gothic No. 1, but the “5” isn’t quite right.
