| 12:16a | [$] Reviving the Hershey fonts ![[Hershey font sample]](http://lwn.net/images/2015/08-typecon-hershey-3-sm.png)
At the 2015 edition of TypeCon in Denver, Adobe's Frank Grießhammer presented his
work reviving the famous Hershey fonts
from the Mid-Century era of computing. The original fonts were
tailor-made for early vector-based output devices but, although they
have retained a loyal following (often as a historical curiosity), they have never
before been
produced as an installable digital font.
