OH! I'm re-creating the keycaps to be reproduced for modern MX switches—trying to track down the font used for the modifers, any insight?
Off the top of my head, I only know Canon used this font on many keyboards. I’ll take a look later.
It's found as well on a bunch of Canon AP typewriters from the same era.
Yeah, I meant keyboards as in “electronic typewriters and computers alike.”
I have a sense that I’ve seen the answer somewhere, but I cannot find it now. :·(
Thanks for even spending a minute to dig into this— let me know if you find any clues or info! 
It might be a cool project to try to recreate this font, if not available elsewhere.
it would be cool to recreate the on screen font using @FontStruct I'm happy to help
please! I was going to slog along by manually recreating it
I think you two are talking about two different things, though?
oh gah. I missed that Matt is describing the on-screen font
