Mixed fonts in a tang stamp?

I got this Sword brand knife yesterday...

...and found something odd. The spey blade has what seems like the regular 4 line stamp but it contains a mix of serif and sans-serif fonts.

Zoomed in...

The first two lines and the last line are serif but the third line is sans-serif. Stamps on the other blades are normal.

I've got a knife with mixed stamps among the blades (3 line on one, 4 line on the other) but never saw a combination of different fonts in a single stamp. Anyone else come across something like this?
