DIGITAL question.

Perhaps a better question is: Has anyone created a font with
the same look and feel of the DEC logo?

You have to remember computer fonts are a much more recent
creation, since early terminals were character based with a
simple 8x8 (or so) bitmapped character stored in ROM.

The DEC logo was almost certainly not computer generated, and
was simply scanned into electronic artwork for more recent
books and such.
