Eurostile Bold Extended is my all time favourite font!

It is also the font of the FUTURE, so makes several appearances in posts from this wonderful blog: https://typesetinthefuture.com/

I was a fan of this font when I started doing design work in the 80s. I did find that the numbers were hard to distinguish in some circumstances such as on the rear deck of Audis where you can't tell if it says "6" or "8" without getting close. 3,6,8, & 9 are all so similar you need to be careful in how you use this.
