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 At least they still stamp them! Colorado just prints plates now. They used to only print custom plates and stamp normal ones, but seems like all plates are printed now
@nytpu we even stamp custom ones!
It's not like it's that hard to configure the machine to stamp anything in particular. In fact, as far as I can tell, it seems even weirder to have two separate processes for bulk plates and custom plates. Baffling.
