Sans serif lead type specimen sheet?

Hello friends,
along with the press that several kind and knowledgable people helped me identify last year, I also got a box of pied type. It came with what I think is a specimen sheet (novice here, hello) but I can’t identify the type. Any thoughts?

Thank you all :)

PROOF BEFORE LAYING was a common instruction on the label of any font of type, and that is just such a font proof of the figure and lower case fonts of something like Futura or Twentieth Century. You can see the boards the type was tied between when it was fonted.
