Danke!

That’s tough. Check 1001freefonts.com.. they have a lot of creative fonts that might have at least something similar.
According to my magical “hacking” skills (I just copy and pasted the text into Open Office and checked what fonts come up in the font drop down), they apparently use Helvetica/Arial/Nimbus Sans L. I’m going to guess what you’re seeing is Nimbus Sans L.
I mean the one which appears in the banner promoting the new Spotify. It’s similar to a Helvetica but it seems to be handwritten.
It looks a lot like Rockwell, but there are subtle differences, most noticeably in the “f.” I took what I remembered from my Typography 1 class and noticed it was a slab serif (aka square serif or Egyptian) typeface and searched for the most common ones. Sorry I couldn’t find the exact font for you!
Hello, we call it Spotify Lagom Bold and it’s a tweaked version of the typeface Akkurat. Akkurat was created by Laurenz Brunner back in 2004.
