I don’t know if it has a name in mathematics, but typographically I don’t believe it’s anything more than a typical lowercase italic f in a serif font.

Lowercase italic ‘f with hook’ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ƒ (same thing?)

Closeup images of the BBC micro keyboard do not show a hook tho... Looks like just italic f with small numeric on the same baseline next to it.

Damien is right. Maybe still Florin in Gorton Modified though? Sure I had a source for this fact...somewherepic.twitter.com/ySSLN4IjST

God, Gorton looks so good. Is there a modern version for computers?

There is not - I did offer to produce one for SP for free if they could supply me with high-res scans. I guess I could just do it anyway based on photos of my caps.

I’d help testing or possibly contributing to that effort. Good scanner scans of keycaps could possibly result in nice bitmaps that could be normalized and used as a (half-measure) bitmap font.

My Envy Code R font started as a bitmap, was redrawn as a scalable, then hinted extensively to give it a sharp almost-bitmap feel again at specific sizes :)

Ha, I totally had to make a bold font impersonate italic too by hacking its innards at some point in my life.
