The font is a san serif font. The one on Wikipedia is a serif font. If you go to the wikimedia page the flag is on, a comment is that original flags used a serif font.

Thanks for that comment, Anthony. The woman who asked about this is in North Carolina. I know there is a lot of dune-buggy riding in the Outer Banks so maybe there is a connection here.

This was before my time but I believe there were jeeping/off-roading clubs during the 1970’s in California that would sport the Gadsden snake and text. Back then, a lot of clubs were threatened by anti-off-roading laws, so they would go all hippie-activist until the gas shortage.

Also the snake’s rattle does not have 13 parts to it as in other representations of the flag.
