Parameters

Japanese Flash game is an RPG stripped to absolute minimal mechanics, with Mondrian-like game board. From Kill Screen:

Parameters, available here in both English and Japanese, is the very abstract version of an RPG. It contains most of the elements of an RPG: monsters (the yellow bars), quests (the empty bars), items, stats, and leveling. Missing from the game are storylines, characters and graphics, but who’s counting? Actually you are. That’s most of what’s left.

The game’s only input is clicking. Through it, you can attack “monsters,” complete quests, buy items, and spend your skill points. After you defeat a monster, or while you’re on a quest, various amounts of money and experience will spew out of the block and after mousing over them, they are collected. Once you’ve gained enough experience, you’ll level up and gain more skill points to spend towards your attack, defense and life recovery.

The kicker is that the monsters are just little yellow boxes …

FatFont

Specifically designed for decimal numbers whose boldness corresponds with it’s value, for use in data visualization:

The FatFonts technique is based on a new type of numeric typeface designed for visualization purposes that bridge the gap between numeric and visual representations. FatFonts are based on Arabic numerals but, unlike regular numeric typefaces, the amount of ink (dark pixels) used for each digit is proportional to its quantitative value. This enables accurate reading of the numerical data while preserving an overall visual context. 

Fatfonts are designed so that the amount of dark pixels in a numeral character is proportional to the number it represents … This proportionality of ink is the main property of FatFonts. It allows us to create images of data where you can read the numbers, and represent tables that can be read as images.
