LEICA'S ENGRAVED FONTS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Leica distinguished itself in the camera world by developing the LG1050 font. Stemming from the need to adapt to CNC machine limitations in the 1980s, the font, characterized by straight lines and quarter-circle curves, is central to Leica's identity. Leica is continuously evolving the font to enhance digital legibility and maintain aesthetic consistency.
