To expand on this, the scifi fonts that originate in this, start with
the Westminster typeface:

An early competitor was called "Data 70". Countless variants emerged later, but Westminster is the earliest variant I know of.
In my childhood, these typefaces were more or less synonymous with scifi, future and computer stuff. If you DIDN'T use this typeface, you had to come up with an explanation for why you didn't..
