Rag Times

(via meaningfonts):

MoMA purchased some fonts recently (23 to be exact), most of which having some sort of historical significance.

One of these typefaces was OCR-A by American Type Founders, which is probably best known as the font used for routing numbers on checks. It’s used in other business contexts as well because it was designed to be perfectly readable by computers. The characters are distinct enough that individual characters won’t get mistaken for other ones.

I’m going to be forgotten in a hundred years while this ugly fucker gets to live on in a museum. I gotta go do something with my life.
