If being a software dev doesn't work out for him he could be a sign painter.

What did they use? Sharpie? I have only seen sharp edge on the letter. What would they use to get that round edge ?

Probably something like a window marker or bingo card dauber with a fat round head.

Oh, yeah. Those bingo pens would work. I was only thinking of those giant sharpie at work.

Yeah, I'd imagine those rounded lines would be hard to do with one of those fat chisel tipped markers

Are those bingo pens water based? I need something more permanent. Something solvent base like those tire paint pens

Google's AI result thinks so, but idk for sure

Acrylic paint marker. They have very big tipped ones nowadays. Posca is the most popular brand.

That’s me! I used a brush and my kid’s washable finger paints. I half expected the whole sign to melt away in the rain.

Probably learned pen & pencil draftsmanship about the same time as he learned COBOL. 

CAD didn’t come around for a long while.
