Dave Nutting Associates Font
Dave Nutting Associates Font is a bitmap typeface designed by Dave Nutting Associates in 1975 and used in a variety of their arcade games. It was first used in their game Gun Fight, a remake of a Taito game which used TTL and didn't have a proper character set. The font was used once in an early Atari game (suggesting it was actually developed by Nutting), and by Midway after the company acquired them.
