Pixel Script

The Pixel Script was created by Christopher Morton as a means to add a signature
to his pixel art. As pixel art can sometimes be tiny, in size or resolution, so is
the signature. Therefore he decided that the letters should be as small as possible.
This meant that they could not simply be condensed Latin Characters. He tried to keep
some consistency: the vowels are generally one or two pixels in parallel or diagonal,
and the consonants are bulkier and more varied in shapes and sizes.

It is not necessarily a script for reading, but it is primarily a script for
decoration and signatures. Messages can be hidden within the pixel art, mixing
it into the picture its self. Alternately the messages and or signature can be
made clearly visible, either in a cartouche or out on its own.
