I don't know if such fonts were really forbidden by written law (whatever that mean for the nazis) at that time. But they were abolished as 'un-german' around 1940. Nowadays showing nazi symbols in the public and denying the holocaust is forbidden in Germany and some other countries. The german term 'Sturmbahn' as in 'Sturmbahnfahrer' describes a trail were you have to vanquish some barriers to train your physical fitness. This is often used in military lingo. But I also know it from places, where you can train your dog. So a 'Sturmbahnfahrer' is someone who drives over a 'Sturmbahn'. I find the name for the game a little bit awkward, too. It may confuse people as we can see in this discussion. But after having a glance at the games homepage I wouldn't see any association with nazis.
