+# F8: 8-bit floats
+
+> ⚠️ Not for production use!
+
+F8 is a toy software floating-point math library.
+It provides an 8-bit floating point type `F8`, with 5 mantissa bits, 3 exponent bits, and no sign bit.
+The format used resembles [IEEE 754] binary formats but stripped down to the bare necessities: the only special value supported is zero.
