I did not quite like the original font that I have chosen for the enclosure text in the previous post. It just looks too ordinary:

I wanted something a bit more futuristic, with clear simple lines and curves. Finally I have chose the font called Dune Rise (available on dafont.com):
https://www.dafont.com/img/preview/d/u/dune_rise1.pngAccording to font's author: Dune Rise is a futuristic display font that draws inspiration from the title of the science fiction film "Dune," directed by Denis Villeneuve. Jesta Designs from Fontswan.com created this font using the Canadian Aboriginal syllabary as a basis, which is believed to be the same approach used for the film's logo design.


I printed the new variant in a red PETG which unfortunately does not look the best in photo below. The blue one is the original font, the red one is new:


(I could also make it turn :-)
