No, it's a recreation of a 8 bits Amstrad CPC font I did 30 years ago. But sure I was inspired by lettraset or some font catalog I own on this era. Thanks for pointing me the name.
@BWM you mean that I'm not 47 old, and wasn't using OCP ART Studio on my CPC at 17-18 to design my own 8x8 font in 1989 ? Waouh, my entire life is maybe a lie. False memories.
The font under OCP Art Studio on Amstrad CPC. It was a pretty cool font editor, as part of this art software. There was no mouse, so you move the pointer with a joystick. I did slightly changes redesigning it here.
If the OCP Art Studio manual is right, it is in fact, a font sample from this CPC software. I backup this font file with all my own font stuff. So, not my font orinally.

@Sleuthgames - This is a nice Data 70 variant. Is it from a particular game?

@Sleuthgames 30 years ago is December, 1979. I doubt that bitmap font creators existed before the 80's…

I pressed Submit once, but it got sent twice…
@BWM 30 years ago is actually 1989
@L-7 What I meant to type. 1979 and 80's were both typos…
(Hope this doesn't send twice after I press Submit)
Bitmap font predate even the 2nd world war ;-)
Although not meant as such they could classify as bitmap fonts. Just look up some of Fre Cohen's work.
I revisited some of her works, also Jurriaan Schrofer made bitmap style typefaces in the early 60s

I never knew OCP Art Studio existed til now… *emberassed*
I've never saw an Amstrad CPC in person…
