A very condensed version of Estilo?
- I was thinking estilo too, but its different, the u and swash r are wrong.ian

the placement of those horizontal rules is bugging me

I think it's based on the Tate's own typeface, which is a custom font.

What typeface? do you mean that lovely plumptious arse? I think its the model's own.

I'm pretty sure it's modified from their house font, lots of examples on Wolf Ollins site who did it: http://www.wolffolins.com/tate.p…
Maybe something like VAG or Bryant is a close as you'll get?

The tate typeface was created by wolff olins and I think miles newlyn drew it:
http://www.newlyn.com/work/clien…It's based on VAG rounded.
It is quite often customised for different campaigns. James goggins has customised it a few times for various exhibitions:
http://www.practise.co.uk/I'm pretty sure this is just a customised logotype for the turner prize, ie, they just created the swash R. They just wouldn't bother using a new typeface, it would be off-brand.
