What is ASCII Art?

ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses printable characters from the ASCII standard to create visual images and text banners. It originated in the early days of computing when graphics capabilities were limited, and remains popular today for code comments, README files, terminal displays, and creative expression.

Font Styles Explained

Block Style

Uses solid block characters (█) to create bold, filled letters. Best for high-impact headers and logos.

Banner Style

Uses hash symbols (#) for a classic ASCII banner look. Great for traditional code comments and retro aesthetics.

Simple Style

Uses basic ASCII characters like slashes and pipes. Compact and works well in limited-width displays.
