Tom,
As I am sure many will concur, being able to ID a badge as being dodgy or kosher cannot simply be reduced to a matter of 'either this or that' (and I appreciate that is not what you're saying here). Collectors' knowledge and resources regarding the appraisal of badges comes with years and years of experience, a great deal of which necessarily includes the making of mistakes, occasionally expensive mistakes. There's no better way to learn.
Not all badges with skinny fonts will be fake/repro etc., neither will all badges with fatter fonts be authentic.
FYI, here is an example of an out-and-out fake bearing an appallingly cadaverous font:
