Westmobster NRC — Magnetic Ink Character Recognition style
A typeface design inspired by the MICR aesthetics style.
I haven't checked and compared this against any of the others already in existence, but due to this it's obvious that this is going to share several resemblances with other similar fonts that are out there.
But I'm pretty confident that this isn't just your next Westminster or Data70.
Just to point out one of the unmistakable difference here for example, is the more distinct Sci-Fi characteristic, which is especially strong within it's uppercase set.
This sort of fonts have been strongly associated with computers technology, especially in the late 1960s and early-to-mid 1970s. Nowdays these lettering concepts are frequently used to indicate computer involvement in television series, films, books, music fashion and several other media.
In the 1960s, the MICR fonts became a symbol of modernity or futurism, leading to the creation of look-a-like "computer" typefaces that imitated the appearance of the MICR fonts.
It still requires some minor adjustment and tweaks, but the global concept is finished.
Let me know what you think,
Cheers
