Welcome to Orwellian Barcode Prison, antithesis of Chicken Wire. The only thing to do here is squint.
Many Barcode users require a taller font for easier scanning. I have extended the basic iCollect.it font to cater for this. This is not a work of art, but a practical real-world font, to help users with their personal barcoding (without the expense of a commercial font). iCollect.it is a barcode (and text) version of the "Code 39 Barcode Specification" which can be read by most modern barcode scanners. I added lowercase characters for more readable labels even though they scan as uppercase. *Notes: Use an underscore instead of a space (as space characters are always blank). Place an asterisk before and after your string for it to be recognised. Additionally bracket pairs can be used for more stylish ends for labels etc: () [] <> Happy Scanning!

This is a cloneA vertical take on Morse code. These glyphs are read left-to-right from the bottom up and spaced so that 1 pixel = 1 unit of time, whether moving horizontally or vertically. Letters have 3 spaces between them and words have 7 spaces.
The result is a concise design that can easily be fed to tone-generation or image-to-audio software (e.g., AudioPaint) to produce accurately encoded & timed Morse code, no matter the frequency (speed) of the transmission. You can use this principle to create and place messages into music or games, make messages match a tempo or beat, arpeggiate words and turn them into music or sound effects, and much more.
The name is a pun. :P

21NOV2018: I've recently learned that many radio stations use an expanded version of the International Morse Code, adding many symbols and punctuation to it. Though these new glyphs are not part of the standard, they are commonly used and agreed on, so I will keep adding them as I find them.

Original size: 4pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)
This is a true barcode font, it actually works with most (if not all) readers (mobile and handheld scanners).
All characters are included. Use * as start/stop character.
Please leave a comment, how you used the font. It would be interesting to see whether there is demand.
Trivia: Although it is correct that 3 of the 9 stripes are wide, the name of the symbology is not called Code 3 of 9. In the original design 39 characters were possible to encode.
