It's a great idea and I am all for efficiency. My only worry is that the vertical alignment of the dots drastically alters the word. a,b,c,d,e are all the same exact black square, just moved up and down the vertical axis. Same with p, s, and v. It's the equivalent of python requiring precise spaces for it to work properly.

I guess I should hold any comments until I actually try it properly, but that would take me years :)
