Thank you for all the great submissions. The interesting discovery for me is how incestuous this space was. Atari vs. Commodore 8-bit fonts are weirdly related in both directions (Atari grabbed the uppercase, Commodore later the lowercase?), and so are Atari/Namco arcade fonts; SAA5050 teletext was inspired by Signetics 2513; Hitachi 5x7 HD44780 was used everywhere; and Chris Espinosa just admitted to “borrowing” parts of the Commodore PET font to bring it to Apple II. https://mastodon.online/@Cdespinosa@mastodon.social/112313573541866323
