The 2x3 case is very interesting though, because it's the basic size of a Braille cell. (2x4 Braille also exists, but it does not help readability all that much here.) So you could read this font on a Braille device without knowing the actual Braille script.

Louis Braille actually invented his own 10px bitmap font for mixed visual-tactile use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decapoint It fell out of use after typewriters were introduced.
