I submitted as 'DEC' but unfortunately there's some automangling on headlines - presumably to avoid shrieking all-caps ones. @dang might be able to rectify it...?

Anyway, thanks for the article - it was an interesting read that I stumbled upon while wondering-via-google what fonts the DEC manuals were printed with.

Thanks for liking it. Admittedly, at first, I didn't know, if this would make a story at all, but decided to do the writeup anyway. So everyone enjoying it is decidedly a win.

It's the kind of thing I'd love to see more of here. Err more on the side of submitting maybe?

I am a little bit nostalgic about DEC stuff from college years working on projects in rooms full of VT220s connected to a small cluster. There's an advert on the local (Stockholm, Sweden) listings currently for a VaxStation and it's oh so tempting to pick it up and have a play with VMS again!

BTW, regarding the font used in DEC manual, I've been looking for this as well, to not much avail. I think, the print on the control panels of the early machines is Neuzeit S, if this is of any help.
