About FIGlet
FIGlet has been generating ASCII banners since 1991. Each .flf font defines a glyph for the printable ASCII range as a stack of character rows. snip ships a curated set of the popular fonts; pick a font that scales well for your text length — Standard, Slant and Small work for longer inputs; Big, Banner and Star Wars are best for a few characters.
