Westminster is one of the iconic fonts of the computer revolution. Probably its most famous use (apart from checks) is the Invisible Man video from Queen:
… although arguably, that would be after its shelf life had expired.
For me it was the Lode Runner (1983) font, which is burned in my retina.
But Westminster also led me to appreciate Moore Computer, a variant that has a sublime implementation of the M and W characters. I mean, look at that M! squared shoulders and secret little notch. Off the wall, organic and revolutionary, art déco almost one century late, but also square, industrial, machine-like. It’s like Ezra Pound with one collar tip askew –a tiny violation of order– to announce that he is a poet. The intersection of computer science and liberal arts. A creative soul hiding within the machine.
