Abstract

Detailed descriptions are given for three fonts of letters. Letter shapes are entirely described by numbers. The basic vectors are in a general form so the fonts may be easily drawn on a variety of computers and cathode ray tubes. The fonts include both upper- and lower-case Roman letters, mathematical signs, and upper- and lower-case Greek letters. Digital type design is described. However, the principal contribution is the fonts themselves.
