Definately Not a Liveshot rumpswab but as I myself have a 214, have to say the differences in typeface could have a simple explanation.
In the past, as when this one was completed, the forms used carbon and admin types had to use typewriters to fill them in. If there were common items on the form, sometimes they would be made up in advance and then only the personal info would need to be filled in---remember, pre-word processor days.
FOR EXAMPLE: Block 28 is a perfect example of this as section a and section c were probably done in advance and section b was specific to Liveshot.
FWIW, nowadays, the forms are completed using an electronic program so all the fonts on the form look the same no matter what block. Having been in long enough to have used both methods, an obvious improvement.

Ah, the good old days when 214's were typed by hand... and any mistake in the shaded area rendered the entire form void.
I got out of the separations business prior to the advances in word processing... I can only imagine what a timesaver that is!
