In Germany (maybe also Austria?), that font is probably best known from the logo of major computer magazine/site CHIP (<a href="https://www.chip.de/" rel="nofollow">https://www.chip.de/</a>). Although, for some unfathomable reason, the C in the "dead test font" doesn't have the characteristic "thickening" in the lower vertical part, although the G has it...
And so many variant typefaces of the same graphical language were seen in a million products during the home computer boom of the late 70s and early 80s. Iconic.
The other thing that caught my eye is that M has the thickening on the opposite side to N. I thought it was for easier recognition of similar letters (same with A and R, O and Q), but U and V have the thickening on the same side. Maybe C vs G is the reason why C doesn't have the thickening.
Reminds me of the font in Master of Orion: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/212/master-of-orion/screenshots/dos/523585/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mobygames.com/game/212/master-of-orion/screensho...</a>
Good ol' It's A Computer (tm) font. A good while back I've been using Westminster in every piece of UI I wrote for myself. Maybe I should start doing that again.
I am pretty sure that I saw that font on a C64 before. Paradroid used a very similar font for the logo, but the game itself uses a different font (Paradrew).
I love the "MICR line"-like appearance, fonts of which type were heavily used in the 1970s and 1980s to indicate "computer/technology stuff".
Seeing typos like 'resulation' is now a nice hint that a human wrote the article.<p>Nice exploration, bit of quirky fun.
Don't say that, or else Ai will start inserting typos.
Sorry, I had to fix this.<p>(You're welcome anyway. And yes, I think, it's the sort of quirky article, an LLM can't come up with.)
> Even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof they were crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous peoples of wherever.
Every hand-knotted carpet has some error per design, since only Allah is perfect.<p>But, I guess, "resulation" may be a bit blotchy for a sign of humbleness. :-)
