I started a thread at WhatTheFont to see if an actual font like this has been
created. If not, then I will create it myself.

I'm working on a complete font based on the letters you created. I've got
capital A-Z. Not sure if I'm going to stop there or continue with the lower
case, numbers, punctuation, etc..

The Metro Gothic Fat font also looks similar.

It would be tricky to use in a lot of cases, since there are often 
little bits that extend beyond the 1x1 unit box.

Accents on uppercase characters are not little 
things..."ÀÂÄÃÈÉÊËÎÏĨÔÖÕÛÜŨŶŸÑ" (only those that I can easily
type)
Then, there is the cedil that extend under. "Çç"
Then, there are several lowercase characters that also extend down. "gjpqy"
