Is it the strikes of a clock, but I still can't see it
12 strikes for 12 o'clock
1 for the ¼ hr
1 for the ½ hr
1 for the ¾ hr
Next should be 1 for 1 o'clock so my sequence is wrong

I've enlarged the Font to see if that helps but, unfortunately, there are a few letters that don't conform to the answer. The letters to ignore are G and Q
