I had a bit of difficulty trying to copy this from a standard printout using my ImageWriter II's without manipulation.  Each character in the ImageWriter II's "Near Letter Quality" (NLQ) mode jammed a 16x14 character into what would normally be an 7x7 template.

I wound up figuring out that the ImageWriter printed each character's odd-numbered pixel rows before printing out the even-numbered pixel rows.  Ultimately, I caught a rather (un)lucky break after the printer would mess up after the odd-numbered pixel row printout.  This worked out because I was able to separate the alternating rows, then I spliced them back together.

Getting back to the font's attributes, ImgWriter NLQ, much like my previous ImgWriter entries, features characters that were not a part of the original design -- accented capital letters, the "fi" and "fl" ligatures, the yen and Euro symbols, fractions, et. al.  The only character in this font that is not monospaced is the ellipses (or "dot-dot-dot");  this was made to be a double-spaced character to cut down on the white space between periods.

I designed this to look like letters that have been either weaved, stitched, or screen printed onto the fabric to create a patchwork quilt effect.
This seems to work best using a sack cloth effect.
Although it works equally as well as a wire fence/ chequered steel/ tread plate / diamond plate flooring effect.
In an ideal world there would be more empty weaves at the top and bottom of each character. I would also prefer a different style Q.
Due to comp rules I have had to omit the lower case, and others, as this just squeezes into the 32 pixel height limit.

Based on the output of the Radio Shack DMP-200 printer, DMP-200 RS is a sans-serif fixed-width Dot Matrix Printer typeface from the early 1980s.  The DMP-200 was used with the TRS-80 Color Computer and other fine Tandy computers.

A few non-alphanumeric characters have been created to match the original style.

This is a pattern Fontstruction based entirely on the Anni Albers textile pattern of the same name.

"Anni Albers began a three decades long collaboration with the internationally recognized design company Knoll in 1951. During the course of this partnership, Knoll released five of Anni's designs: Track, Rail, Lattice, Jhet and Eclat. Originally designed in 1974 as an upholstery pattern, Anni Albers' Eclat, was first produced printed on a cotton/ linen ground in various scales and color combinations. Reintroduction into the market as part of Knoll's 60th anniversary archival collection celebration in June 2007, Eclat, renamed Eclat Weave, is now produced as a woven, rather than printed, upholstery."

5 downloads5%20downloads598 glyphs98%20glyphs98This is the second edition of LAB-Braille. LAB stands for (Lutz ASCII Binary).  It is a form of writing that depending how it is printed, can be read by touch, sight, and sound.  It is hard to explian in just a discription but dots are 1s and spaces are 0s.  The first vertical line has 3 spaces while the second has 4, read from bottom to top.  Example : A = 1000001. A computer would read it right to left, while we would write it left to right.
I found that having the last 3 binary in the front made it more easy to read.  I think this might be the final standard.  I am not fond that the code is read backwards from a computer, but it will still serve its purpose.  Note that the "vertical line" symbol is different.  I print this in a light grey on blank paper, making for neat fast writing.This%20is%20the%20second%20edition%20of%20LAB-Braille.%20LAB%20stands%20for%20%28Lutz%20ASCII%20Binary%29.%20%20It%20is%20a%20form%20of%20writing%20that%20depending%20how%20it%20is%20printed%2C%20can%20be%20read%20by%20touch%2C%20sight%2C%20and%20sound.%20%20It%20is%20hard%20to%20explian%20in%20just%20a%20discription%20but%20dots%20are%201s%20and%20spaces%20are%200s.%20%20The%20first%20vertical%20line%20has%203%20spaces%20while%20the%20second%20has%204%2C%20read%20from%20bottom%20to%20top.%20%20Example%20%3A%20A%20%3D%201000001.%20A%20computer%20would%20read%20it%20right%20to%20left%2C%20while%20we%20would%20write%20it%20left%20to%20right.%0D%0AI%20found%20that%20having%20the%20last%203%20binary%20in%20the%20front%20made%20it%20more%20easy%20to%20read.%20%20I%20think%20this%20might%20be%20the%20final%20standard.%20%20I%20am%20not%20fond%20that%20the%20code%20is%20read%20backwards%20from%20a%20computer%2C%20but%20it%20will%20still%20serve%20its%20purpose.%20%20Note%20that%20the%20%22vertical%20line%22%20symbol%20is%20different.%20%20I%20print%20this%20in%20a%20light%20grey%20on%20blank%20paper%2C%20making%20for%20neat%20fast%20writing.
