Description-en: ANSI font readable by the computers of the 1960s
This font was developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
to be readable by the computers of the 1960s. The OCR-A font is still used
commercially in payment advice forms so that a lockbox company can determine
the account number and amount owed on a bill when processing a payment.
A site license for the OCR-A font is very expensive, so this free font was
created.
