Description
This was a type specimen project for my graphic design course last year, this font was super neat.
Here's the paragraph included in the image; OCR-A Standard was designed by American Type Founders in 1968. It is a decorative sans serif created to be both readable by Optical Character Reading machines and legible to the human eye. This typeface has little variation in line width, and designs curves in its strokes and stems through diagonals, squares, and hexagons. The X-height on this typeface is two-thirds of the cap height, and nothing ascends above the cap height. Ascenders are short, frequently ending slightly below the cap height and descenders below the baseline are kept extremely short in order to remain in the characters row. Terminals and tittles are rounded squares, and most corners are rounded off. Many letters have short tails, curves, or edges – producing a serifed effect despite the typeface being a sans serif. Finally, OCR is monospaced and designed in order to produce clear rows and columns in text.
