The design of the font is quite interesting, but it's not universally applicable for text art work of course. Making ordinary punctuation and alphanumeric characters have the same connection properties as the line drawing and box characters comes at the expense of distorting text art that relies on conventional glyph shapes to make sub-cell slopes and whatnot work. There's stuff out there that relies on (say) the symmetry of opening and closing single quotes or the visual similarity of the dollar symbol and the capital letter S.
