It's a good font for those that think that the world and computer technology peaked in 1971. I don't share that opinion.


I don't think it necessarily peaked, but the IBM PC represents an inflection point - it was built on top of the office equipment more cozy aesthetics rather than the computer division's cleaner and minimalistic visual identity. The PC has a George Gershwin vibe while the terminals such as the 3278 have a definite Emerson, Lake and Palmer techo-utopia thing to it.
