Cheques, what a blast from the past, don't miss those at all. I do remember that so called computer font at the bottom of the cheque book that used to be in my lettering book (It's what we used to trace to do headings for school assignments in the early 90s).
Great cursive handwriting on the cheque and I see he does mark his 7s halfway up (well he did for one of the figures).
EDIT: Ok the above image of the computer font MICR-13B is incorrect. Here is a link for some more information. https://hackaday.com/2025/02/10/how-magnetic-fonts-twisted-up-numbers-and-saved-banking-forever/ (https://hackaday.com/2025/02/10/how-magnetic-fonts-twisted-up-numbers-and-saved-banking-forever/)
