Gameology: Commentary and Resources for the Game Studies Community

Thanks, Tom. You do appear to be correct about Westminster.

However, I have a strong suspicion that the Wikipedia article you link to is incorrect, especially since it doesn't cite its source (though it seems to draw its information from here.) Westminster and Orbit-B share so many identical or nearly-identical shapes that I wouldn't be surprised if Westminster was created as a knock off of Orbit-B.

I'll have to research that of course, and I could be wrong. Still I'd be very surprised if Westminster pre-dates Moore Computer as the wikipedia article implies.

Unfortunately, my type reference books are at school, so I'll have to check tomorrow.

In any case, Westminster is one of this group of fonts which borrow forms originating in E-13B that end up being a complex and (to some extent) anachronistic reference to 70s videogames.
