Type Design - Line 21

Again, not so much design as production work. I did this back in 1995 for Joe Clark, who has a tremendous interest in typography for captioning. Line 21, also known as EIA-608 was for a long time used for closed captioning on TV. No Postscript version existed and since he was writing articles arguing that this was a really bad typeface for the purpose, he needed a version that could be easily typed out.
And it really is a heinous typeface.
