It wasn't created, designed or even enlisted by Veer. It was made entirely by Alejandro Paul (an internationally acclaimed typeface and graphic design artist). He lives and works in Argentina, and was here in 2007 to give a speech at the UofC.
He's stated on his website that he created this font as a way of honoring his visit to Calgary, and says that he was inspired to create it after seeing the Welcome to Calgary sign outside the airport.
Veer is just the company currently selling it. It will be interesting to see if it gets picked up like the Chicago font, etc.
