Did MICR only include 0-9 and the control characters?
Yep-- 0 through 9 and 5 special characters. But old TV programs such as
"Probe" gave alpha titles an MICR look also. I don't know if there's a
proper name for that contrived font.
Were the stylish fonts seen in the "Search"
opening credits ever
actually used by computers, or were they a graphic designer's
riff on MICR, extending it to alphabetic characters, too?
Pure Hollywood, as far as I can tell.
