LynxMICR E-13B

A MICR font you can ship in your software.

The E-13B characters banks read on every U.S. check, built from the published standard — with a license that lets you embed and distribute it in the software you create. Pay once.

Just need to print QuickBooks Online checks? You don't need the font — CheckLynx prints them with the MICR line built in, from $5/month.

LynxMICR E-13B specimen: digits 0 to 9 and the Transit, Amount, On-Us and Dash symbols

Built to the spec

Drawn on the E-13B 0.013-inch grid with the standard character widths, heights and 0.165 mm corner radii.

Exact pitch

Set at 12 point, every character advances exactly 1/8 inch — no scaling tricks.

Both encodings
