For anyone who is looking to create an authentic-looking Apollo Guidance Computer Display Keyboard (DSKY) interface, I've created some fonts that you might find helpful: Gorton Normal for the keytops and annunciators, and "Zerlina" for the numeric display.

See GitHub to download. You'll also need Futura Demibold (for the legends in the numerics area), but that's not hard to find.

Thank you! I really appreciate you documenting and making a font out of this typeface, which is extremely helpful.

I had been searching for a while rather unsuccessfully for the source. Interestingly, it was used for some experiment panels during the shuttle program as well.

All times are CT (US)
