MOTM

They're putting more paint into the engraving, which makes the font appear
thicker.

> 
> Looking at MOTM-102 panel ideas, I notice that a popular engraving tool
> choice for lettering is the 0.4mm size.  For over a year I have been
> using the 0.2mm tool exclusively.  For a reason I cannot explain, the
> actual result of the 0.4mm tool became increasingly bold over time.  So
> much so that the last panels I made with it are a bit coarse looking.
> The letter boldness of the most recent panels I made with the 0.2mm tool
> is almost the same as the oldest ones that specified the 0.4mm.  If you
> are ordering from FPE in the United States, I suggest the lighter 0.2mm
> tool.  The result is more refined.  The MOTM-like Font is DIN 1451,
> 1-stroke.
