Font Style Reference
- Block: solid filled letters, bold and impactful
- Big: clean outline letters, highly readable
- Banner: wide horizontal style, classic terminal look
- Slant: italicized appearance, modern and dynamic
- 3D: three-dimensional block letters, dramatic
- Mini: compact small font, fits in code comments
- Gothic: decorative medieval-style letters
- Script: cursive-style flowing letters
- Hex: technical monospace style
- Bubble: rounded bubbly letters, friendly look
Best Practices
- Keep banner text to 1–3 words for best readability
- Use 80-column width for terminal compatibility
- Test in the target environment before committing
- Use plain ASCII fonts for maximum cross-platform compatibility
- Add ANSI color codes only when you control the terminal
- Wrap in appropriate comment syntax for code files
