Ok, I think this is it. 'Festive' by the Inter-Signs signage company. I don't think there is an identical, modern font equivalent.
Thanks to @jwildeboer @KecskeBak @Printdevil for nailing it down.

Hey folks, IDK who needs to hear this...

If you're interested in working with vectors ( like AI databases ) then vespa.ai have a fun Advent of Tensors challenge.

Coming from a web coding background, I was fully hesitant about even looking at the first one!

But, 10 days into December, I gave it a try, I'm happy to share that the folks at vespa have made this a delightfully fun intro to tensors! I'm on day 3 and there's no stopping me :D

Today I'm joining the Institute for Degrowth Studies for an introductory event on #obsolescence of digital devices. I'll be talking about the energy use of the internet, old devices and e-waste. I'll share how we investigated this topic through making a website that was designed to support 10 years or older devices, by drastically reducing the energy use of that website. As part of the event, there will be a workshop with an ad hoc museum of obsolete smartphones and tables. You can use them to put that and other websites and apps to the test. You can also bring your own and with the help of @jessika_richter and #Repair Café Malmö learn to judge the repairability of your old devices as well! If you are in Malmö drop by at #ABF, we start 15.30
