I guess it's only meant for devices with (a smaller number of) large pixels. Your HiDPI monitor or retina iPhone screen will not be a good match.

The lower case letters can mostly be read just in context. Looking at the characters here [0] 'g' is just a vertical solid rectangle and 's' is two diagonal pixels. 'W' looks more like an 'M' than the actual M letter.
