Yes, I see that. Still, I don’t quite like the discrepancies in the logo stroke width between TFA and the OT, especially as it is supposed to be its successor.

As for the font, to me, it just has a wrong weight (thickness). This actually looks like something like DIN or a stretched News Gothic font to me.
ROTJ / ROTS had a font that looks a lot like Univers Ultra Condensed.
TESB used a different font (I don’t remember its name; however, a similar font was used on Sergio Leone’s “A Fistful of Dollars” for the intro credits).
