It's not all the same font (unless someone made one up specially). The
letters "pdp" are a tweaked version of Futura (ither Medium or Book, I
can't remember which). BTW, the "11" doesn't look the same as on any of my
PDP11 docs; normally, they're Helvetica Bold, but in the logo at the top of
http://www.pdp11.org/, they're done in what appears to be a
slightly-modified Futura. The "/34" or equivalent that you see in
particular model numbers is normally also Helvetica, but stretched. I could
give you a (scalable) PostScript copy of the "pdp11/34" logo if that would
help...
