I have been looking for a good monospace font in order to meet the criteria of a client.

One I found that I think has suitable qualities is OCR-B.

However, as near as I can tell, it only comes in "regular" form, no bold or italics.

Is this because its roots as an optically recognizable font precluded variants?

Or is it just that my Google-fu is weak and I simply haven't found it (I think I can claim to have met a reasonable level of requirement of having searched before asking).

Pretty sure you're right with "its roots as an optically recognizable font precluded variants".

You should be able to able to apply faux-bold in most applications, though. While this is normally very bad practice, I wonder if it might produce acceptable results with a font this basic?
