  This reminds me of this beautifully written article about the font Gorton.https://aresluna.org/the-hardest-working-font-in-manhattan/https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49201953

  A weird thing: the exclamation mark `!` seems to be elevated from the baseline, judging from the specimen.

  The old versions of VIC-20 used a font called Microgramma.https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/1pjw7q6/t...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgramma_(typeface)

  What, no Euro key?(Yes, I realize the € symbol didn't exist until 1996)

  Nice. It never really occurred to me how different these are from 64C keycaps. I guess through our affinity for retro look, the original typeface ended up feeling more modern/current than the newer one.

  But what font did the C64 keyboard originally use?

  It’s a very pleasant looking humanist sans. Now I’m wondering about the story of the original typeface – were the glyphs specifically designed for the keyboard? Seems more likely that some existing font was used.
