You could use a table. Here I have a border on the right, bottom, and left of the table. Lines for the combs are created by using a two row table and only having rules between columns on the bottom row. The cells have a white fill.

It's usually created in Acrobat forms as described in this link. It's called a "comb".

It's definitely not a table, and I've never seen it used in InDesign. So you might do a search for information in the Acrobat forums.

You can try to use this font, but I did not test it on recent systems.
