The FE-Schrift[1] or Fälschungserschwerende Schrift ('forgery-impeding typeface') is a sans serif typeface introduced for use on licence plates. Its monospaced letters and numbers are slightly disproportionate to prevent easy modification and to improve machine readability.
DIN 1451 is the typeface used on road signage in Germany and a number of other countries. It was also used on German car number plates from 1956 until January 1995, when it was replaced by FE-Schrift, a typeface that impedes tampering and aids optical character recognition for automatic number-plate recognition.
To increase the effectivity of the new color scheme, FE-Schrift typeface was first implemented for regular personal four-wheel plates only since November 2022. Besides that, commercial/public transport (black on yellow) and government-owned (white on red) vehicle plates began to use FE-Schrift at the same time.
Modern German plates use a typeface called FE-Schrift (German: fälschungserschwerende Schrift, tamper-hindering script). It is designed so that the letter P cannot be altered to look exactly like an R, and vice versa; nor can the F or the L be forged to equal an E, etc.
FE-Schrift was chosen as the font to be used on license plates in 2018 as the characters are designed to be difficult to modify. [3] Before 1981, the Philippines used the North American standard measuring 300 × 150 mm (12 × 6 inches) for cars and trucks. [4]
The current version started in 2018 used FE-Schrift typeface for alphanumeric and Square Kufic typeface for Arabic text. [1] Yemeni license plate types can be distinguished by their background colour, as well as an Arabic text above the numerical code, adjacent to the country name, (اليمن).
The new font of the plate is FE-Schrift. The plate no longer indicates the region below it, instead, the first prefix of the plate will indicate the region of where the vehicle is registered, bringing back the 1981 license plate series alphabetical designation. At the right bottom of the plate is where the small QR code is located. [3] 2020
