I guess that’s because of the limitations of the production method. If you look at the “R” the edges also are slightly rounded because the machine couldn’t reproduce that detail

See below (used some cursewords but actually he is right to some extend after reading again haha)

Was drunk, still am, but here the corrected answer: well, if you look closely the „R“ is slightly rounded in the patch. But indeed the B probably was rounded in the font template already. But all those fonts you can find on online websites are mostly approximations to classic fonts and even further In the analog world they used different fonts and squeezed them and modified the heck out of them regarding medium etc and the production method also did its effect. I doubt you will find some modern font website where you can enter the letters and get the exact logo

My best guess is that he somehow modified one of these older classic fonts. Obviously he had to improvise quite a bit while making it.

If you spend some time on it, you can get it as close to the one you want as it gets. Even the edges on the letter B are round already ;)

That’s it! This is as close as you will get with internet-fonts I guess. Take this and do some modification. That’s what they did with analog similar (original) fonts back then
