<> Could be Futura.

<I can't remember now for sure, but I think I tried Futura (well, it's one
<of the obvious ones, so I'm sure I did) and found Helvetica a better match
The closest is Helvetica Bold Oblique(with the height to width ratios
altered), however the actual font is a sans serif monospaced block font.
I used to know what the acceptable substitute was. However most of the
fonts and their names postdate the DIGITAL logo font. A little tuning of
the metioned font passes real well.
If you can write Postscript and understand postscript fontmetrics it's a
easy hack to make 100% real looking DEC keys.
