   8x8 Font Advent Calendar 2025 Day 11

   Saucer

   4/5 pixel wide gylphs allow 51 characters per line on a Speccy and unlike the 3/4 pixel width can still be readable.

   4 pixels can be tricky for glyphs like I, T, W and M and I went for pure clarity with Area51 in 2021.

   This time there's an alternate, weird, quirky and different take on getting into 4/5 pixel widths...

   Screenshots are rendered here with 8x8 so don't do it justice.
