I am not aware of one, but I can hunt around. I'm also waiting on a friend who might have an idea about the DX11 panel, which is a different font from this one. Forgetting about identifying the original for a moment, I just stumbled on this NEW (and very good) design, which is a bit closer to the DX11 and could be a suitable basis for a set of modern panels? You could license this font for your product and its branding (or documentation, web site, etc). It even has a monospaced variant: https://lettersfromsweden.se/font/lab-grotesque/ --Toby > > Thanks! > > Noel >
