This is the console font for OpenBSD (on x86-64, at least).

I'm not sure I like it. A lot of the character shapes (like the C and S) feel too rectangular at large sizes. At smaller sizes, some of the alternate character shapes like the Y, and the rounded corners on characters like F and L, harm readability.

Did the ASCII art in the README get mangled?

No, it's just an odd style of lettering inspired by graffiti throw-ups. I think this style is popular in the warez community.

(It just says "spleen". Nothing exciting.)

Thanks - really had no clue. Turns out reading warez-style ascii art is not my forte!
