Title: Non-ADB keyboard font
Post by: Cobalt Jacket on May 30, 2022, 10:50:37 PM
I'm trying to build a custom keyboard for my Mac and am looking to emulate the non-ADB keyboard look (the main twist being that it would be Dvorak). In particular, I need to confirm the font used on this keyboard - and if it is an oddball font, some pointer to where I might find it would be appreciated.

(FYI - I have a Turbo color slab but just can't seem to pick out the font.)

I'm definitely no expert on fonts, but the font seems to be at least pretty close to a standard Helvetica font (check e.g. the Q, K, and R keys). One minor difference I think I found is that the terminal of the lowercase "a" (e.g. on the command key) might be a bit shorter than in regular Helvetica.
