Perfect, I wasn't even aware there was a font for this purpose!

I don't see the point in QR codes, I have never seen an every day use for them and it makes me slightly angry that they have been adopted so heavily.

I do take into account people have found a use for them in niche situations. It just seems these ugly black barcodes could have been avoided by legible OCR fonts with a decent OCR scanner built into the phone. Everyone's happy!




Hardware-wise, OCR is not as simple to process as QR.
