    well i have found out a bit from the web but still no joy

    FE Mittelschrift is the German car plate font designed between 1978 and 1980 by Karlgeorg Hoefer (1914-2000) together with the University of Giessen (Dept. of Physiology and Cybernetic Psychology). FE is the abbreviation of the German word fรคlschungserschwerend (difficult to forge). Characters were designed individually so that a C could not be made into an O and so forth. The face was first used on cars in 1994. Article by Susanne Schaller, with comments by a number of people. Martin Core claims his Sauerkrauto font was based on images of the license plates.
