Ineligible for copyright since, even in countries where typefaces as such are protected by copyright (UK, etc.), merely typing words, in whatever typeface, cannot be copyrighted (and so even if the font used would have been an illegal implementation of the typeface).

This image is not copyrightable because it solely consists of text in a typeface. Typefaces as such are not copyrighted, see w:WP:PD#Fonts. "Similarly, it is not possible to copyright common geometric figures or shapes such as the hexagon or the ellipse, a standard symbol such as an arrow or a five-pointed star. Likewise, mere coloration cannot support a copyright even though it may enhance the aesthetic appeal or commercial value of a work. For example, it is not possible to copyright a new version of a textile design merely because the colors of red and blue appearing in the design have been replaced by green and yellow, respectively. The same is true of a simple combination of a few standard symbols such as a circle, a star, and a triangle, with minor linear or spatial variations."[1] Note: trademark restrictions usually apply. Logos can be registered as design patents for a copyright-like protection.
