Selvam,

It looks like the typeface in the wordmark is a version of KABEL.

It could be the ITC version or another. The original was designed by Rudolf Koch.
The face I see on the page is a geometric humanist sans.

The sloped eye on the lowercase E and the pregnant bowl on the lower case A are giveaways. What I think is the clincher on this is the lack of foot on the lc B.

Look for KABEL on one of the font sales sites. One thing to look for is how tall the x-height is which is a sign that the face is an ITC version.

Hope this helps.
