A comment on FE-Schrift – forgery-impeding typeface. Parent comment

Re:FE-Schrift – forgery-impeding typeface by weinzierl on Sunday October 25, 2015 @05:12AM (#10446422) 

   Whilst the DIN typeface was using a proportional font, 
   the FE-Schrift is a monospaced font (with different 
   spacing for letters and numbers) for improved machine 
   readability.
The German version of the Wikipedia article says more clearly that (despite the name: FE = hindering falsification) machine readability was the other important reason for the design and introduction of the typeface.
