What is an ASCII text banner?
An ASCII text banner turns ordinary text into large letters made of ASCII characters. Each letter is rendered using a FIGlet font —a style definition that maps characters to multi-line ASCII art. The result looks like a big headline you can paste into code comments, READMEs, terminal splash screens, or social media bios.
