## What it is
Spleen is a collection of monospaced bitmap fonts available in six sizes (5x8 to 32x64), distributed in BDF, PCF, PSF, OTB, OTF, WOFF, and other formats. It targets consoles, terminals, and code editors, with Unicode coverage including Latin, Box Drawing, Braille, and Powerline symbols.

## Use cases
- monospaced bitmap font for terminal emulators
- font for Linux console (PSF)
- crisp pixel font for code editors
- font for small OLED displays
- bitmap font with Powerline symbols
- font for xterm or BSD consoles

## When to choose
- you want a pixel-perfect monospaced bitmap font for terminals or consoles
- you need multiple sizes of the same font family
- you need PSF fonts for the Linux console or BDF/PCF for X11

## When to avoid
- you need a scalable vector font with variable weights
- you need extensive Unicode coverage beyond Latin, Box Drawing, and Braille blocks
