IFF DEC used a commercial font, then it should be possible to find it.
These panels do appear to be typeset using commercial fonts, and yes in

I have a large library of inlay panel pictures.
I’m sure I did some drawings with text when I did the blank panels. (Just the

I’ll have a look. If not I’ll match a font to a picture.

According to my notes, for the VCFMW8 shirts
