a page spread of upper case dot matrix OCR character grids
I have a feeling that this is going to end up as a TTF sooner or later. It's OCR-MA, an OCR font for dot-matrix printers

@0y3ahSansAcut3 all about making different oscilloscope traces for each character on ancient OCR equipment
dogwelder pro an hour ago
If this doesn't already exist as an OTF, I might have to knock it out. Not surprisingly, it looks pretty straightforward.
ardgedee pro 14 minutes ago
@0y3ahSansAcut3 OCR fonts are an interesting exercise in trying to distinguish similar things. Not just 0/O and 1/I... a smeary print or scanning too fast can make a 5 look like an S or vice versa, a G like a Q or a 6.

Altering the profile of the letter is one way to help with this. Train the device to recognize an O is diamond-shaped and a 0 is square. (Which btw is kind of entertaining if you're a typographer and used to seeing the Oh being rounder and zero being skinnier).

Tangentially this is relevant to periodic attempts at designing fonts for dyslexic readers. One of the techniques that help people with dyslexia is for similar-ish characters (C, G, 0, O, Q, or I, 1, l, |, /, !) to be drawn more distinctly, and to have symmetrical characters (I, T, A, U, etc.) drawn asymmetrically. It turns out that one of the better fonts for some dyslexic readers is Comic Sans.

Cool Squirrel

Cool Squirrel does a backwards 50-50 grind down a rail. Cool Squirrel sees some people doing drugs. They say to Cool Squirrel “Want a hit?”. Cool Squirrel says “I’m good?”. Cool Squirrel looks over the top of their glasses and says “Cool Squirrel usually says no to crack!”. The words “usually says” are in small text.

JOHN BEER Loves America

Frame grab from what appears to be a local news remote segment. On screen is a man in a yellow t-shirt and cowboy hat. He is standing next to a wooden table and holding a large bicycle wheel. Behind him, cars sit on the grass in a makeshift parking lot that appears to be part of a local park or fairground. A chyron reads: "JOHN BEER Loves America."
