I recently noticed that the State of Illinois has changed the font of the *stamping* on license plates.
The design is the same, but the stamped text is a bit thinner and the glyphs are blockier.
I am surprised how much this change is bothering me, to be honest. It has never occurred to me how much that is a defining feature. The first one I saw I assumed had to be fake!
@TechConnectify I can't remember which states they are, but some other states plates always trip me up because I mistake them for Illinois police plates because they have slightly different sizing and spacing
There's a few that have a similar blue to white gradient, yeah. Our current one got a lot uglier though!
I think what makes ours easiest to distinguish from the others is the burgundy text. As far as I know, we're the only state that does that.
