Incorrect typefaces on Northbound M606 junction 1 entry slip road sign

Reported via desktop in the Sign issue (NH) category anonymously at 16:00, Sat 5 November 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3941166.

At some point between June 2018 and July 2019. The sign situated at Junction 1 of the M606 entry slip from Chain Bar Roundabout went missing. A replacement sign went up between then and October 2020. However it looks very different from the original that it replaced. Notice on this Street View image: https://www.google.com/ maps/ @53.7378107,-1.7280918,3a,75y,21h,89.13t/ data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s3DZDAgXKsbOreigMlIjYRg!2e0!5s20201001T000000!7i16384!8i8192 that the sign seems to be entirely written in the "Transport Heavy" typeface as opposed to the more appropriate "Transport Medium" typeface which would be used for signs of this type. More concerning is how the "M606" is also written in "Transport" as opposed to "Motorway". For clarification the sign I'm on about is the one which reads: "Bradford Euroway Estate M606" It would be great to get some clarification if this sign is indeed incorrect and requires replacement. Thanks.
