16570 Polar Explorer II Dial Font

[ckh1901]

Hi all,

I am looking for an polar explorer II and have come across the following listing. The font looks a bit strange, however, even when compared to another 1996 listed on the same site.

I have heard good things about Alex Pig on this forum but the font just looks really off - any explanation for this?

Thanks,
C
