The whole point is to faithfully reproduce the C65 prototype. They're extremely unlikely to change the font.

That said, the lines all look a bit thicker/darker than the original to me. That may be responsible for the kerning issue you see.

In the article they mention that "The discerning viewer might notice that the MEGA logo is bleeding together a bit in the little vertical gap. We will tweak this. Also, the printing on the fronts of the keys is currently black instead of grey, and there is a little over-bleed on the graphical symbols. We will also get this fixed."

I'm not sure whether this will completely resolve the issue, but it seems likely to at least help. [EDIT: Just noticed that it specifically says "on the graphical symbols" so I'm not sure they'll be adjusting the lettering]

Yes, the text on top will also benefit from correcting the over-bleed, that currently makes everything look a bit jammed together.
