Bob Newman
|
British graphic and type designer, most famous for his Data Seventy (1970, Esselte/Letraset), a display typeface that emulates the shapes of the early computer types [see Data EF at Elsner and Flake, and for a free knock-off, Westminster]. A cyrillization of Data70 was done in 1976 by Victor Kharyk. Other designs by Newman include Penny Farthing (1974, Letraset), Odin (1972), Frankfurter (1970, Letraset, with Alan Meeks and Nick Belshaw), Linotype Horatio, and Pump (EF and Linotype versions). On Frankfurter: a lowercase was done by Alan Meeks in 1978. FrankfurterHighlight (by Nick Belshaw) followed in 1978. An inline was added in 1981. Among the revivals, we mention Rafael Nascimento's Choripan (2020), Yorlmar Campos's RNS Baruta Black (2004), Scangraphic's Frankfurter, Linotype's Frankfurter, Infinitype's Farnham, SodftMaker's F821 Deco, and Castcraft's OPTI Frankfurter. See also the film type Frankfurter by Robert Trogman at Fotostar. Zach Whalen analyzes Data Seventy in his 2008 thesis and states that Data Seventy is the first full alphabet based on the MICR font E-13B, since it includes both upper and lower case letters.

Federico Landini
|
Designer in Pistoia and Firenze (and before that, Barcelona) who was born in 1982 in Pistoia, Italy. He created the ultra fat counterless typeface Virgola Mobile (2010) and the elegant art eco fashion mag typeface Fabrizio (2011). In 2011, he created an original octagonal typeface called Excellens: Excellens is the first font totally created using Microsoft EXCEL 97. The glyph design was done using a standard EXCEL 97 worksheet, adding some border and diagonal color to draw the letters shape. The final result is something that reminds one of the Cholo Graffiti Calligraphy used by Mexican gangs in Los Angeles, but in a new digital and elegant way. Anunnaki (2011) is an artificial language font. Federico Landini and Jonathan Calugo cooperated on Chinotto Regular (2012), a sans typeface custom designed for the Pistoia Underground Festival. In 2018, he designed the MICR font Code 2020. [Google]

Commercial barcode vendor since 2000 that wove an intyricate web of various web sites and company names. It seems to be run by Brant Anderson from AdvanceMeants. Other business names: BizFonts.com, AdvanceMeants.com, MicrEncodingFonts.com, PostnetFonts.com. In any case, they sell almost all imaginable barcode fonts, including PDF417, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, POSTNET (POSTal Numeric Encoding Technique: used for US zip codes by the US Postal Service), PLANET (a new US Postal Service barcode), FIM (Facing Identification Mark: US Postal barcode for classifying mail), 4-State, RM4SCC (Royal Mail 4 State Customer Code: British barcode), and Australia Post Address bar code fonts. The demo fonts IDAutomationSC128L, IDAutomationSI25L, IDAutomationSOCRa, IDAutomationSPLANET, IDAutomationSPLANETn, IDAutomationSPOSTNET, IDAutomationSPOSTNETn can be found here. IDAutomationHC39M Code 39 Barcode (2014) is free. They also sell other things such as MICR and OCR fonts. The PDF417 font costs 300USD per user for one computer. Postnet, Planet, OCR fonts evaluation package. There is a free Code 39 font, but the same page issues the following incredible warning: In many cases, other barcode fonts distributed as "freeware" or fonts that are sold very cheap are illegal counterfeits. You and your organization may be held liable for using and/or distributing these illegal software products. Beware of companies that distribute "free" fonts from unverifiable sources with copyright notices from companies that do not exist. Learn more about how to identify and report illegal counterfeit barcode fonts. Fear tactics are well known to politicians. To see them used by a company is particularly disturbing. First of all, barcode fonts are the easiest thing on earth to make. There are totally free barcode packages that cover *all* barcode schemes, and they were built from the ground up. Their campaign asks readers to report suspicious barcodes - huh? ID Automation's definition of "suspicious" is "different from ID Automation fonts". This is bottom of the gutter stuff, and if I were in the market, I would say no to ID Automation. Fontspace link. Dafont link where one can find IDAutomationHC39M [Google]

Klingspor's site says that he is German, but that is wrong---he is British. In an interview, the writer says: There is one space age one called One Up, a ghastly 60s thing, and the guy who designed that, Leo Maggs, talks about how he wished he hadn't designed it. "Way back in the swinging 60s," he says, "when my youthful soul was consumed with enthusiasm, if not naked ambition, I was surprised and delighted to have my first typeface, Westminster, accepted by Robert Norton. I produced several further designs, most of which were properly strangled at birth. One Up unfortunately survived... Looking at it now I feel much as I imagine a mature film star must feel when, 30 years after the event, she comes across photographs of herself as a struggling starlet revealing all for the readers of popular girly magazines, and I wish I hadn't done it."

MICR
[Thomas D. Hayosh]
|
MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. This PDF file by Thomas D. Hayosh (1995) retraces the history of the cheque. The American Bankers Association had a Technical Committee, about which we read: In July 1956, the Technical Committee published Document 138, Magnetic Ink Character Recognition: The Common Machine Language for Check Handling where the committee recommended magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) based on the advantages of having a machine readable language which is also easily readable by humans; on the relative insensitivity of the magnetic ink signals to mutilation by most overstamping, endorsing and writing instruments; and on a demonstration of the feasibility of this approach. Following this, all the major machine manufacturers involved, representatives of the printing industry, and the Federal Reserve System unanimously indicated their concurrence of MICR as the common machine language for mechanized check handling. Of note, during the first OEM Committee meeting, in September 1956, Dr. Kenneth R. Eldredge of the Stanford Research Institute presented his work on magnetic character recognition on behalf of the General Electric Co. Dr. Eldredge filed for a patent on Automatic Reading System on May 6, 1955 and was granted U.S. Patent 3,000,000 on September 12, 1961. The U.S. Patent Office was reported to have held the number 3,000,000 to be assigned to a significant invention. Indeed, MICR as applied to banking automation, in retrospect, was truly significant. Stanford Research Institute, Bank of America, and GE because of their early state of the art work in magnetic ink recognition were heavily involved in submitting and evaluating many of the fonts which were submitted to the Type Design Committee. It continues about the E-13A font: Publication 146, released in July 1958, entitled A Progress Report: Mechanization of Check Handling, specified the clear printing areas on the check and announced the field evaluation test for the E-13A type font. Some 50 printers were involved in a trial printing of the font. The Type Design Committee engaged Batelle Memorial Institute to administer the details of the trial printing and machine readability of the font. The Institute acted as a clearing house for instructions and to receive unidentified printing batches and forward them to the 5 machine companies for evaluation. The readability results were compiled by Battelle and presented in a report. Finally, in November 1958, the Type Design Committee agreed on a change in the Transit symbol and a relaxation of the void specification. Finally, E-13B was born: Many often wonder what does the designation E-13B stand for? E is the 5th letter of the alphabet which signifies 5 numerical type fonts or styles of type that were studied starting with the letter A. The 13 means the 0.013 inch grid that constitutes the matrix of the font. Each character has segments which are multiples of the 0.013 inch grid. The B stands for a modification of the 5th type font. In this case, with the E-13A font, a problem was noted as the transit symbol was sometimes misread as a character 8. Subsequently, the transit symbol was changed to what we have today and the type font was then designated as E-13B. And CMC-7 saw the light in 1965: The Standards Committee on Computers and Information Processing, X3, with the Business Equipment Manufacturers Association as Secretariat, recognized the desirability of issuing the E-13B work as an American National Standard. It formed the X3-7 Subcommittee on MICR and with the assistance of the X3-7-1 technical group issued 2 related standards on MICR in 1963 as ANSI X3.2-1963, American National Standard: Print Specifications for Magnetic Character Ink Character Recognition and ANSI X3.3-1963, American National Standard: Bank Check Specifications for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. Much of the information presented in those first Standards were taken from Publication 147. Meanwhile, the X3 committee kept X3-7 active and endorsed X3-7's participation in the International Organization for Standardization, Technical Committee 97, Subcommittee 3 (ISO/TC 97/SC3) on Character Recognition. After a series of international meetings which terminated in 1965, the ISO Recommendation R 1004-1969, Print Specification for Magnetic Character Recognition, was published. This recommendation contained the E-13B specifications in addition to another MICR character set known internationally as CMC-7. [Google]

MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (also known as E13-B). Some countries use CMC-7 MICR. You can't just print this. MICR requires either specially designed printers and/or MICR Toner. Standard ink does not have the appropriate magnetic qualities. Anyway, for the glyphs, see the other sites on this page. [Google]

MICResque Type Design
[Zach Whalen]
|
A part of Zach Whalen's 2008 thesis at the University of Washington touches upon the history of MICR. Excerpts: The technology necessary for MICR developed roughly parallel with OCR and addressed a similar need: inputting large amounts of information into a computer system using characters which could be read and verified by humans. In the 1950s, the growing demand of check processing demanded that a mechanized, automated solution replace the tedious methods of hand sorting, routing, and processing all personal checks. A Technical Subcommittee of the American Banker's Association convened in 1954 to address the problem, and after a series of consultations with banks, manufacturers and the Federal Reserve Bank, the committee developed a recommendation and standard for a common machine language for check processing, which was published in its final form as Document 147 of the Bank Management Commission, first published in 1959 and still in use today. The committee's use of the term language here is significant because the standards and specifications set forth in their recommendations encompass the numeric font itself, the location of MICR information on the check face, the ink quality, the system for encoding routing, transit, and account numbers, and the equipment required to process it. James McKenney's detailed narrative of the technical subcommittee is careful to note that the use of language in this context is strictly metaphorical, but the sense in which it describes the entire system strongly resembles Ferdinand de Saussure's use of langue (the complete semiologic system of any language) as a field that is distinct from parole (the singular expression of a specific language act). This analogy between langue and MICR as a "common machine language" also will help explain the means by which re-appropriated MICR fonts express associations similar to those identified with OCR-A. [...] MICR works by a recognition process similar to OCR, except that in MICR, the ink is magnetized and it is read by a magnetic tape head rather than an optical scanner. This prevents stray marks and paper degradation from interfering with reading, both of which were important problems the Technical Subcommittee had to solve. The typeface ultimately selected by the committee, E-13B, consists of simple, geometric forms adorned with asymmetrical rectangular slabs. This design conforms to the technical requirements of the MICR input devices, and the variability of the slab location among individual letterforms ensures that even degraded type will yield a sufficiently distinct magnetic waveform in order to be properly read.

Typehouse
[David Moore]
|
Type foundry that was active during the photo composition era. Creators of typefaces at VGC, such as Moore Computer (1968, an LED face) and TH Alphabet Soup (1975, a VAG Rounded style face). Moore Computer and Moore Swash are both attributed to David Moore. Zach Whalen on Moore Computer: The minimal aesthetic properties of E-13B saw extended influence in a number of type designs created in the late sixties and early seventies, and many of these MICR-based typefaces saw extensive use in relation to videogames. The typesetting and printing industries were undergoing rapid and dramatic changes during this period, adapting to new technologies like photo- and CRT-based compositors, so a number of companies and design studies were going out of business or changing hands. In addition, the decorative typefaces echoing the style of E-13B were often seen as novelty products, so records about several of these typefaces and fonts are cursory may be unreliable. Nevertheless, the evidence indicates that the first full alphabet based on E-13B was a font called Moore Computer, published by the Visual Graphics Corporation (VGC), possibly as early as 1968.

Westminster
|
Westminster is the ultimate cybernetic font from the early seventies. It was created by Leo Maggs (1973, Berthold) as a photo type. Eraman Inc made a Westminster typeface in 1993. Zach Wahlen wrote in his 2008 thesis: The origins of Westminster are somewhat unclear, but it emerged at least as early as 1971. It is also the most pervasive and common of the MICR fonts because it has been distributed freely with Windows operating systems since Windows 98. [..] Simon Daniels of Microsoft believes it is possible that Robert Norton (head of Microsoft Typography during the mid-1990s) originally designed Westminster himself, and the little available evidence does support this possibility. The font description mentions Photoscript, a phototypesetting company Norton founded in 1970; the unnamed designer is identified as British, as was Norton; and the choice to focus the font's description on the story of a willful designer who is ultimately vindicated seems consistent with Norton's sense of humor and habit of self-deprecation. I think Simon Daniels and Zach Whalen are both wrong, as this interview of Leo Maggs demonstrates: There is one space age one called One Up, a ghastly 60s thing, and the guy who designed that, Leo Maggs, talks about how he wished he hadn't designed it. "Way back in the swinging 60s," he says, "when my youthful soul was consumed with enthusiasm, if not naked ambition, I was surprised and delighted to have my first typeface, Westminster, accepted by Robert Norton. I produced several further designs, most of which were properly strangled at birth. One Up unfortunately survived... Looking at it now I feel much as I imagine a mature film star must feel when, 30 years after the event, she comes across photographs of herself as a struggling starlet revealing all for the readers of popular girly magazines, and I wish I hadn't done it." Quite incredible, since I had the Leo Maggs info on my site long before Whalen's thesis---sigh, why am I even bothering? [Google]

WSI: Weatherly Systems Inc
[Mike Charness]
|
Mike Charness's Huntsville, AL-based foundry used to offer a huge number of handwriting fonts, and thousands of other fonts at rock bottom prices, in all font formats. It stopped selling fonts to end users or licensing fonts for redistribution in 2003, but continues OEM work. Lists of font names: - Robert Long discussed the fonts, and mentioned in some cases the original fonts they were modeled after (read: copied, tweaked and renamed).
- A partial list found in internet archives and corrected by Herbert Van Brink is here. A list annotated by Robert Long and kindly sent to me by Richard George, is here.
- Michael Yanega published a list of the WSI Hand names and their equivalences on the ClickArt Handwritten Fonts CD.
- Ulrich Stiehl provides a further list and explanations: Anastasia is Anna, Avian is Avant Garde, Basset is Baskerville, Bastian is Buster, Boston is Bodoni, Bulletin is Flyer, Aladdin is Legende, Palisade is Palatino, and so forth.
WSI had barcode fonts, MICR fonts (such as CheckNums-MICR), some foreign language fonts, and many dingbats. The full collection could at one point be downloaded here. The handwriting font collection (known as WSI Hand) was downloadable from here, here and here. Apparently, these handwriting fonts were obtained by first selling a handwriting font service, and then selling a CD with the created fonts. WSI is no longer selling fonts and has this ironic line: WSI's fonts are not freeware, but are commercial software protected by copyright. Now, how did WSI start up its business? I quote from this archived page: We don't sell directly to end users, but rather provide fonts to software publishers who sell our fonts under their own labels. Current and past licensees include PowerUp, Spinnaker, SoftKey, Wayzata, Canon, Fuji, Epson, Serif, Borland, Novell, Maxis, Cosmi, Xoom, Dynamix/Sierra Online, Synergistic Software, Expert Software, IMSI, Parsons Technology, MySoftware, Abstract Software, Dunlop Corp., Case Inc., GraphicCorp, CAI, Creative Wonders, The Learning Company, Current Inc., Pierian Springs Software, Lookout World, Palladium Interactive, Philips Publishing, AIG, Asymetrix, Media Graphics, Knowledge Adventure, WIZ Technology, Paper Direct, Sanctuary Woods Multimedia, GST/GSP, Baudville, Zedcor, and many others.
