Where it works

At 8 rows it has room for real letterforms, which is what makes a header look deliberate.

About 7 columns per character. A five-letter word lands near 35 columns, comfortable in a README.

Had some spare time today, so I have done another font. Different

form to the last one though:

And there you are. "S" looks slightly odd and so does "J", but
