Creative, not sure if it's useful. Is it easy to change the font size?

Probably not, but it's an interesting concept.

Pretty darn cool! One limitation I wish I could think of a workaround for is that "cutting out" parts of some letters (C, G, J, Q) requires laying a rotated white square over it, with white as the hardcoded background color. So this will only work with other background colors if you know the background color ahead of time or can configure it in JS or something.

You could probably write a script to have it scale down by a factor of whatever you wanted - you can see the CSS required for it on the page there.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
