I’m trying to identify the folding camera shown in a poster detail of a photographer at work. The camera has very pronounced angular or beveled front corners. From the perspective, it could be medium format or possibly large format, and I’m not sure which. Does anyone recognize the model?

This is a Linhof Super Technika IV 6×9. (Usage rights of photos at cameraquest.com do not allow reuse of images, so I can't upload an image here).

Based on the identifying features described and the community response, this appears to be a Linhof Super Technika IV 6×9.
The Super Technika series is a metal-bodied folding rangefinder/view camera, and the 6×9 version matches the compact proportions you noted better than a full large-format model. The angular, beveled front standard is a distinctive Linhof design cue, which is likely what stands out in the poster image.
So while it has the look of a larger technical field camera, the specific camera identified here is a medium-format Linhof Super Technika IV 6×9 rather than a large-format version.
