Metadata quote:
"4x5 numerics with 7 weights and 1 italic a.k.a. WI71"
Not inspired by any other design,
e.g. Abneurone's minimalist pixel experiments
(my very dotted 4x5 version may look like the 7x7
"Deep Low 2" font he made on 2014 and 2017
- which includes a lot of duplicates
but is not limited to the numerics).
