Store only the ASCII characters raw and Bytesized fits in a little under 150 bytes, which is where the name comes from. Each letter lives in a cell 3 pixels wide and 4 high, accents aside.

At that size some letters have to cheat. Baltdev admits a few glyph designs are “creative,” and the character set stops at the Latin core, but the aim was the most legible text possible inside those limits, and it does read. Set it at an exact multiple of its pixel grid, with smoothing off, for a game HUD or a status line on a tiny screen.
