Nice!
Vaguely related: many years ago I created a font file for the lettering found on the
earlier PDP-11 handbooks. I included some letters that didn't appear on those covers,
guessing at what one might look like (the letter "x" for example).

During lockdown I was having some fun redrawing
old DEC manual covers
with Inkscape, specifically terminal and printer manuals from the late
1970s. I've attached a montage of four that I printed out so I could
stick it on the wall. I'm aware I may be the only person, even here,
who finds them attractively simple and coloured in such a definably
1970s way.
Here are the four images:
