Something I've been working on for a little while – a ‘missing page’ from the classic Franz Joseph technical manual detailing the new TOS-era Stargazer made for #StarTrekPicard by @BuckAdmiral 
One deficiency of my page is that the font I used wasn't a great match to the original Joseph drawings. Thanks to @DewlineO for pointing out this font based on the exact stencil used! It has some kerning issues but is still a huge improvement.

Thanks to @MikeJF for pointing out the really nice Routed Gothic typeface! See, this is why I don't bother to do any research myself 😅

While a much nicer font, Routed Gothic is at first glance not as suitable as Schnaubelt. However neither are a perfect match when you start to look closer.
If I want to get REALLY obsessive however, I can bolden RG up slightly with a grungy outline to simulate ink bleed… 😶

It’s been interesting looking through old architecture/draughtsmanship books for retro tech manual inspiration. I’m itching to get myself a drawing board now, tho I know it’ll never see any real use. 😅
