The choice of Braille is very clever. I once failed a typography class for using Braille in a final design project that was supposed to create a sequence of images representing a visual story out of pure typography. This followed a 30 minute long argument with the professor during critique in which he asserted that Braille was not type. I countered that it was. It's charming to see it employed in this way.

The Braille trick has been used for ASCII art for awhile. In this case, I was more interested in it for subcharacter rendering of balls.
