  • Generate ASCII titles for retro-style code comments

Frequently asked questions

Why only short text?
ASCII banners are 5–6 rows tall; long phrases overflow the typical terminal width. We cap at 24 characters to keep output readable.
Are non-Latin letters supported?
Not yet — only A–Z (case-insensitive), 0–9 and space. Missing characters render as blank space.
Where does the font come from?
Built-in pixel maps designed for this tool. They're inspired by figlet's 'standard' font but coded inline so the tool runs offline.
