Font stuff for art (details in desc)

I call this font Coalesce
Take the provided symbols, but instead of placing them next to each other (although that looks fine too) put each symbol exactly 1 pixel right of the last one's left edge so that they are overlapping. To indicate where they overlap, I have 3 options:
1. Polytonic Overlap
Switch between several colors each character, and mix them together on overlapping pixels.
2. Gradient Overlap
Use 1 color, and change it too a different one in a series of other colors on overlapping pixels. (Doesn't have to be an actual gradient obv, but the name makes more sense for this lolz)
3. XOR/Binary Overlap
Only use 2 colors, and "on"/"0" and "off"/"1" color. All pixels start on the 0 color. Pixels affected by characters being written switch from on to off, or from off to on.
You could also do this with more than 2 colors and do a cyclic Trinary (or more) XOR pattern, but I didn't make an example for that.
The weird looking one left of the examples for those is where I took the pattern left by the XOR one if you delete the 0 pixels entirely, and then put the colors from the monotone gradient one into the remaining pixels.
You can't read it, but it looks really cool and since it holds meaning and its super compact you could find a lot of interesting use with it!
Happy pixelling, plzmakemorevisualrulethingsokbaaaiiiiii
