Morovia MICR CMC-7 Fonts

MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) strips are used by banking industry to automate check processing. It was invented around 1950s. The characters can be recognized in two ways: magnetic recognition and optical recognition. Through the special character design, each character generates unique signal to the MICR reader, making the reading very fast and accurate. To satisfy printing requirements, magnetic ink has to be employed to print checks.

Morovia MICR CMC-7 font follows the most recent ISO standard 1004 1995(E) when printed at point size 12. Each character can have four different sizes, as defined in the standard. The character set consists of ten numeric characters, five special symbols and 26 alpha characters (A-Z). The standard is used by many countries, including France, Mexico, Spain, Brazil and Japan, see this article for a complete list.

To print checks that can be recognized by check readers, the characters must be of precise measurements. Not all MICR CMC-7 fonts in the market, especially those marketed as shareware, meet the printing requirements of CMC-7 standard.
