Mono-spaced type has been all but removed from places on the internet, so it’s no surprise larger scale ASCII art isn’t common anymore. But have any of you made such stuff way back when, or perhaps more recently for nostalgic fun?

I made this at the end of 2022 when I realized Notepad++ was mono-spaced by default, and wanted to try creating my sona. Text is an interesting medium to work with, it reminds me of pixel art in a way due to the constraints. That and for the first time in my life I found a use for the insert key, absolutely amazing.

    There used to be programs that would help you create ASCII art. I remember playing with those.

      If you saved anything from then, I’d like to see it! Hadn’t really thought about special tools for it, but it does make sense.
