The typographical side of it - whether it's about being "cool" or not,
may be solved in a number of ways.

Letter-spacing in a text-element, or margins in a float-construct, will
achieve the same - visually. These methods - or no method at all - may
create some problems once the styling loose (some of) its effect -
subjected to non-visually/text only browsing, as there are those "links"
and 'pop-up' spans to consider. That construction is a bit overloaded to
begin with.

I don't see any solution that'll cover everything, as long as those
letters are kept separate and they are surrounded by those other elements.
OTOH: if the image line-up is created by using _one_ image, with an
overlay and some trickery for those pop-ups, then one might get
something out of it that'll look typographically right, be readable,
"cool" or whatever, and work reasonably well in most scenarios.
Something for the designer to decide on...
