DCA (Data Control and Architecture) font is a monospaced typeface designed specifically for computer programming and software development. It was created by Peter Klein and first released in 1976 for use on a Control Data Corporation (CDC) mainframe computer. DCA font is known for its clean, simple and easily readable design, making it a popular choice among developers who need a typeface that is easy to read and distinguish between different characters in their code. The font has also been adapted for use on web pages and is commonly used in text editors and integrated development environments (IDEs).
