To be fair, truly terrible panel designs seems to be an actual design
goal for module designers.  The more cramped the layout and the more
eyewatering the graphics the better - and if you can find a font from a
1960s TV show to scale down to 1mm high to label everything with, so
much the better!

Bonus prize for giving your module an infantile name, too!

(not a big fan of modular, tbh)
