The Hells Angels aggressively protect their patches and branding, but who actually owns the font style itself?

Is it a custom typeface, an old public-domain western font they adopted, or something legally protected through association alone?

Kind of fascinating how certain lettering styles become culturally “claimed” even if nobody technically invented them.

Probably Hells Angels Inc or whatever their corporate entity is called.

They sue over the use of their intellectual property.
