R8 “Surf” lettering manufacturer

I need some help locating the manufacturer of the “Surf” lettering on the transom for my R8S. When the boat was made in 2023 we requested Cobalt to leave the “Surf” badge off to leave open space for a future boat name.
The “Surf” letters are high quality and fancy, not the average boat name sticker decals you can find all over the internet. I would like to contact the manufacturer Cobalt uses to see if they can make me a boat name in the same style and quality.
The attached pic highlighted in yellow is the area I am talking about.
Thank you!

The Cobalt font has been rumored to be Times Regular, stretched to 125%. It's close enough I can't tell if it's really something different.

As for letters, manufacturers use big providers like:

but for a one-off order you might be stuck with a metal fabricator like:
