The claim that the font was used for a Nazi magazine should be removed. Stated as fact, it is demonstrably false. The letters don’t match at all and the magazine logo does not use a font. It is a drawing. If anything, the designer of the logo was potentially vaguely inspired by the font, but even that cannot be stated without proof. It would just be someone’s wild speculation. The article doesn’t provide any proof and this connection also doesn’t look plausible, because as mentioned, the letter do not match in any shape or form. Apparently the author just draws that conclusion based on the matching names and he is even admitting that when he says “Perhaps it is just the name Signal that is too close for comfort …”. But “Signal” (meaning sign) just happens to be an extremely common word. So, in conclusion, the article author is just speculating and jumping to conclusion. That doesn’t need to be in a Wiki article. It would only mislead people to take it as fact based on the way that it is currently written or based on the potential authority of the author making such claims.
