First, I must thank all who take their time to further this effort and add to our collective knowledge of all-things Blade Runner. And thanks to SynaMax and Joberg here for their recent efforts -
A Slight Retraction -
While at first scan Max's revelation of the font 'PUMP' appeared to be the solution in the quest for the missing font, it is still not the font used in the DROID (or MONI) covers' subheads.
SynaMax revealed a find that I thought was THE perfect fit, but on closer inspection I found that while PUMP is a solution to one problem, with its rounded cap "M", other key characters do not match. Overall, ITC Ronda remains the best choice with the one correction.
After reviewing the DROID subhead closely - it's been a couple of years since I researched the fonts and tackled my version - I noted the weight didn't quite match. Nor did the shape of several key characters - the lowercase letter "a" with its slanted tail, the "t" with its extended crossbar, as well as the lowercase "c", "d", "p", and "s" and the cap "R" (the latter two not shown in the samples below) -

Again thanks.

Returning to your art and for future reference - as "revealed" in the article discussing its use on that 70's movie poster - and now, based on what we've found, I think we've confirmed that Southwell used the Ronda font as it then existed, with no alteration other than using those alternate glyphs that were available to him in that set.

Received my custom ID plus the Deckard Id and they are excellent. Right down the the spelling errors from the original on the back. The Amberlith looks great.
Thanks Max |

Max -
You asked TS, but I'll offer this here. I think if you peruse his now rather lengthy and very informative thread, you'll discover many of your answers. I keep finding tidsbits I've overlooked earlier. Great stuff!
He did create a scattering of other sector numbers. Apparently most went no further than the concept/sketch phase.
Aside from sector designations, as to their assigned uses, Tom will have to answer that . . . if he, hasn't already elsewhere. I'm curious as well
