"Data visualization is often thought of in terms of pixels; considerable
work goes into shaping large data sets into a form where spatial
relationships are made clear and where colors, shapes, intensity, and
point placement encode various quantities for rapid understanding. At
TypeCon 2015 in Denver, though, researcher Richard Brath presented a
different approach: taking advantage of readers' familiarity with the
written word to encode more information into text itself."

Some really cool ideas here.

Share and enjoy,
