Do you recognize this font?

Posted on April 23, 2019 by Katherine Wikoff

Driving home from work yesterday, I got stopped at the traffic light at Sixth and Juneau. Looked to my left and immediately started puzzling over the font above the Johnson Controls Entrance. Anyone know what it is?

    This site will match fonts without much information. I did a cursory search

      Thanks for the tip, Jim! I’ll check it out. There’s something vaguely “Cold War” about that font’s persona, for me anyway, sort of slide-rule-era computer with a hint of Soviet bloc😂
