Font used on TV shows - early 80's Top of the Pops and ITV Schools

Question

This is a font which was used quite a lot on UK TV in the 1980s.  It looks 'digital' in that it's quite square in shape, but has rounded edges.  I understand it was one of the built-in fonts that the Aston 4 character generator had.  I've attached examples from 3 difference instances.  The Top of the Pops credits show the font in initial caps. Does anyone know it's name?  Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I believe this font was also included with the Vidifont, as you can see in this 1979 CNN promo. Not sure what it was called, but I doubt it was available anywhere except these character generators for video graphics.

You can see more examples in this character generator system promo which I believe was produced by Vidifont.

Comments

The font used for the 1979 CNN promo is ITC Bolt. The one shown by Mark is similar, but not quite the same.

Oh, wow, I forgot ITC Bolt! I think you got it for both. “ZOO” and“BASIC MATHS” may be something else, but I wouldn't be surprised if the first sample is also Bolt, perhaps customized for the character generator. Make it an answer!
