Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts might notice that Routed Gothic is a fairly good match for the “Gorton Modified” legends on Signature Plastics keycaps. Last year I put together an HHKB-like homage to the BBC Micro keyboard, which required custom keycaps to get the ECMA-23 bit-paired layout. I mostly used Routed Gothic to design the keycaps: https://github.com/fanf2/kbd#gorton-like-fonts
The page does mention two Gorton variants.
If you're interested in other keyboard typography, you might be interested in an open source clone of the font used on Cherry keycaps: https://github.com/dakotafelder/open-cherry
