There are tiny Japanese fonts that support all Chinese characters. This means they have 7000+ characters with 8x8 (or even 6x8) grid, most of which are pretty legible IMO. It's amazing.

This is really cool! I always wondered if the japanese alphabet could be rendered like this. I found the hiragana and katakana characters to be easy to read but the kanji was really hard. I'm a beginner though...

Ootl, why does the character set have "whisky" in the middle haha.

Nope, that are just some samples that show the usage of the fonts.
