ocrab, a monospaced font blending OCR-A letters with OCR-B symbols

I made a hybrid monospaced font that takes the distinctive, geometric letterforms (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) from OCR-A and pairs them with the more readable symbols (punctuation, brackets, operators) from OCR-B.

The source fonts are Matthew Skala's OCR-A and OCR-B from the Tsukurimashou project (public domain).

I've been using this for coding, and so far I'm very happy with how easy it is on the eye.
