MegaMegaTypeType
A six-weight monospaced revival of OCR-A by Marcus Gärde and Anders Wikström, updating the 1960s machine-reading standard for contemporary screen and print use.
About
GD Octio carries forward the strong geometric character of American Type Founders' OCR-A, a typeface originally engineered in the 1960s for optical character recognition. Six weights from Thin to Black are included alongside a variable font, with OpenType alternates and tabular numbers supporting over 200 Latin-script languages. The design sits squarely in retro-tech territory, balancing historical reference with practical versatility.
Classification
A fixed-width typeface with explicit OCR-A heritage, drawing on the geometric, machine-readable letterforms of the 1960s standard while modernising them for contemporary screen and print use.
