Recreation of the pixel font from  VEB Polytechnik's "Poly-Play" (1985), an old arcade machine from the former GDR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly_Play

Note the strangely cut off "?", "j", "g" (indistinguishable from "q") and round brackets.

This recreation uses "Upper half block" (U+2580) for what would be a (non-standard) "Upper one quarter block"), the "Lower one eighth block" (U+2581) to "Full block" (U+2588) sequence of block elements, "Light shade" (U+2591) for the diagonal pattern, "Medium shade" (U+2592), and "Dark shade" (U+2593) for the vertical pattern.

Individual games use some custom symbols which don't map easily to unicode and have not been included.
