After reading:

The agency said elevator inspection certificates are all system-generated. Whatever is causing the font to change is happening on the technological backend, which means the city’s central IT department has the answer.

It appears the quirky font choice happened when the city migrated old software to different servers, according to Grant Ulrich, managing deputy commissioner at the Department of Buildings.

“If the font is not installed with this really old software, it picks the font with the next alphabetical name in the list of whatever fonts are available on that server,” Ulrich said. “So this was not a choice. It was a ‘find the next best option’ decision made by a computer.”

Somehow even worse. Also, love the not giving a shit of whoever printed them, I’d probably ignore it too depending on how little they paid me.
