I confirm: dozens of similar, very/too easy-to-do 5-dot of width pixel fontstructions. In order to spice your design up, you may want to make a valid US-ASCII from it, and in a quite smaller matrix of course (it's currently based on 3x5 + 5x5 hacks, but your descenders waste the grids a little). It may take you 30 days… ;-)
'K! now it confirms why I see so many similar designs made of simple bricks (there are plenty of low-res fonts that are new to me and my archive/project since 2013). Feel free to shrink your "Boring Pixel" down to a strict 3x5 (I could do it for you quite easily, in a couple of minutes, but I needn't show my own solutions for the moment). FontStruct can be used as a pixel art tool (I even mentioned it on Wikipedia), but if I were Rob (which is unlikely…), I'd add the usual tools any bitmap editor has.

Thanks for the advice, but I wasn't trying to make a good font here. I was just experimenting with the software.
