3×3 pixels is almost certainly the smallest legible font.
You need at least 6 pixels to encode 27 letters + 10 digits because:
2⁵ < 37
2⁶ > 37
But 2×3 pixels seems unlikely to be legible. From 2×3 pixels, you can increment the height to 2×4 pixels or the width to 3×3 pixels. The latter feels more feasible.
