Purpose: to display maximal information in minimal pixels for the English language

Methodology: Made the most common glyphs as short in width as possible. All glyphs are two pixels tall.

The ordering featured on the right was used.

Many letters would not fit properly because they are too tall. I adopted a convention of rotating letters to the left by 90 degrees to solve this problem in a way that could be easily memorized. I will mark such characters according to a legend.

E, T, A, O, I, N, S, H, R, D, L, C are the most common letters in that order and are 1 or 2 pixels wide in this alphabet as a result. You might notice that the letter I is 1 pixel wide, and that is because that glyph is the exact shape of an I so it would be difficult to memorize it as anything else. Meanwhile, the e and t were recorded as the bottom and top dots respectively, and the remaining 9 possible 2 pixel wide glyphs were assigned to the other common letters as intuitively as possible.

Many concessions had to be made, but this assignment is the most intuitive one possible that I could find, and the mnemonic devices used in their construction are indicated beneath the glyphs.
