Guys it is just a mock-up, or should we say a cock-up after all your investigation. I too dislike the font, very hard to read for me.

The sad thing is: They did release these fonts together with their new horrendous logo last year. So this crap is probably legit.

The font has already been used in youtube videos, so it's official now. Generally I think it's OK, except for the letter A which is just atrocious.

The 'a' just sticks out to me every time too.

The whole OSD 'experience' reminds me of something that will win an industry award, which is to say that other designers will love it and people who have to watch it will hate it.

Overall it can't be as bad as the FormulaE which actually greys out the on-track action when it puts the telemetry display over the top.
