A narrow sans after the letter-board menus of Polish milk bars, make-do substitutions included.
About
Milky Bar borrows from the PRL-era canteen boards where a missing letter was swapped for the nearest one: an upside-down V for A, an M turned over for W. Contextual alternates bring those swaps back for A, M, W, Ź and Ż. It comes in two cuts, Soft with rounded terminals and Sharp without, each with an oblique, and covers Latin and Cyrillic.
Classification
A tall, narrow sans with straight sides and tight spacing, close to the press-in letters of a menu board. Accents are fused to their letters, as on the original boards. Soft has rounded terminals; Sharp does not.
