At 7 rows it has room for real letterforms, which is what makes a header look deliberate.

About 7.4 columns per character. A five-letter word lands near 37 columns, comfortable in a README.

About this font

Taken from the credits inside OS2.flf:

By Kent Nassen,, 4/30/95.

Looks like some sigs are still good for a few figlet font ideas.

This one's rather simplistic, I guess, but interesting nonetheless.

Thought I'd make a figlet font out of it. Along the "lines" of bright,

relief, and contrast...
