splot14 Could the Roboto font possibly indicate a personalized plate?
Unlikely, because it's the normal font there now and has replaced DIN. Roboto font was first introduced in 2018 and mass printing started in about 2020. Now almost all newly-produced plates use Roboto in Mongolia

I'd says there is inconsistency between the fonts because (on PM) I've seen plates in both fonts in both variants of digit spacing (that is, 0000 AAA and 00 00 AAA). In my opinion though, Roboto now being used as a plate font seems a bit weird; DIN did fit these plates better

From what I know (according to my contacts in Mongolia), plates in the country are not really standardised with the spacing, it usually depends on the plate manufacturer. I've seen plates with Roboto with and without this space, some big spaces and some small spaces, even a plate with some numbers in DIN and some in Roboto. So it seems like there is no big enforcement of the change to the new font, even though it has been the 'official' standard for over 5 years. Very unique

So this means there isn't a single company in Mongolia that does the plates unlike what's the case in numerous countries? Interesting.

Yep, something like that. A lot of plate production is done by private companies or is devolved to the provinces to produce their local plates, from what I know. It seems like Mongolia has tried to crack down recently on people making plates and not following the country's set standard (like with incorrect spacing between numbers)... but whether they have succeeded is a big question, based on plates like this one

It might be just my opinion but I have never been a fan of such "freedom" regarding license plate production (which is similar to what happens in France and Ireland) where multiple legible fonts appear. As long as it's all under one single font and just the standard being obeyed, no matter whether the plates are privately or state-produced, it's completely okay with me
