That's probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCR-B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCR-B - developed in the 1960s. (OCR-A might be more common but I'd say less human readable).
- jolmg 7y agoInteresting. I was expecting something with more machine visual aids, like square markers to easily determine the start, size, and angle of the text. I wouldn't be able to guess that this font was designed for OCR. I wonder what design considerations they took. From the look at the applications, maybe they assumed perfect/consistent reading conditions, instead of e.g. a casual photo of the text with little consideration to alignment or using a prepared format.
