The Disney+ doc series on #ILM has one episode with a lot of the awesome #JohnDykstra in it.

Now, obviously he is an ubergeek and I am unfit to dust his cornices. BUT on top of the stuff I know, he's rambling and just happens to say that...

HE INVENTED THE ORIGINAL #StarTrek FONT!

He never got credit for it but it was him.

I tried to post this on Reddit ages ago but it got deleted cos my only source was paywalled doc series. So I thought I'd post it here.
