#34It's a pretty font and gives that instant retro look on keyboards for example. I've tried it on the computer with "Gorton Digital" and that's just terrible, I can't recommend it. The spacing/kerning is all wrong. Hoping someone takes on the project of making a nice digital font, potentially a mono-spaced one too.

I believe those are car license plate numbers.

We use "AA AA 1234" or variations of that, so the examples did not register as license plates at all. Interesting.

Regardless of the content, what other 50x11cm mass produced metal signs are there? I was thinking street name signs, before reading the examples.
