Yes, the credits illustrations are specific to the job being credited at the same time. "Programming Director" is necessarily anachronistic.

The fonts are absurdly good, with several variations for each glyph that are randomly chosen to make the scripts look less repetitive. The actual font rendering is likewise fantastic: the animation of ink being filled in, the emulation different nib pressures for emphasis or just randomly applied for verisimilitude, the blotches and typo erasures, etc. It's possibly the only text-based game in existence where screenshots don't do it justice. Personally I'm very curious how it works on a technical level. SDF fonts + offset values + noise for boldness and color variations? Fonts with the dynamic features of handwriting aren't a trivial thing to program and design in any case.
