Making an image out of text is counter to the spirit of accessibility - screen 
readers will go “huh?” - and would also make it hard to fix those typos. For 
that matter, screen readers aren’t going to notice the compression so if the 
goal is to draw attention to them, it’s not going to happen there.

If they have a custom font, could they also make a compressed version of that 
font?
