Where it works
At 7 rows it has room for real letterforms, which is what makes a header look deliberate.
About 3.2 columns per character, so a short word still fits a phone screen.

Explanation of first line:
flf2 - "magic number" for file identification
a - should always be `a', for now
$ - the "hardblank" -- prints as a blank, but can't be smushed
6 - height of a character
5 - height of a character, not including descenders
20 - max line length (excluding comment lines) + a fudge factor
15 - default smushmode for this font (like "-m 15" on command line)
12 - number of comment lines

This was to widen the space character.
