For a newer font in this vein, I'd look at B612, a font designed in cooperation with Airbus specifically for visibility inside cockpits: https://github.com/polarsys/b612/blob/master/docs/B612-Leafl...

...and for an older font, look at Futura and its variants --- whose users in aerospace included Boeing and NASA.

It may be the size on the page, or glyph rendering artefact but this font doesnt look... consistent. Dont get me wrong the font is brilliant, however atleast for me there are some points at which the rendered glyphs are over cut. Another way id describe this is the antialiasing is not consistent. Its like layering the same text on top of the other multiple times.

I learned to write in this style by hand in an engineering graphics / drafting class in college. I too find the high concentration of upper case fonts, especially Courier New, in engineering and especially EE, to be kind of relaxing and pretty.

Sort of related, there's DIN 6776, a German standardized font used for technical drawings: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normschrift https://www.typografie.info/3/uploads/99b804cee64ef8c64ad900... I had to learn that one in drafting class in middle school.

DIN standards are local derivatives of ISO standards. There are few widely used "Technical lettering" [0] standards: «ISO 3098»(EU/International), «ASME Y14.5» (US) and «GOST 2.304» (ex-USSR). There are few FLOSS fonts which cover «ISO 3098» [1,2,3], «ASME Y14.5» [3,4,5] and «GOST 2.304» [6,7,8] technical lettering standards.
