Made this many years ago in the usenet days. It took a little work to figure out how to get the words to pop cleanly.

Wow this is insane.

What’s crazier is that it seems to work at three different levels of eye unfocusedness, idk how tf you made this work.

It took a bit of research to figure out how to pull it off. Making the words pop was easy. Making them not have fuzzy edges required inventing one weird trick.

ASCII Art

A group for fans, collectors, and creators of ASCII art.

ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable (from a total of 128) characters defined by the ASCII Standard from 1963 and ASCII compliant character sets with proprietary extended characters (beyond the 128 characters of standard 7-bit ASCII). The term is also loosely used to refer to text-based visual art in general. ASCII art can be created with any text editor, and is often used with free-form languages. Most examples of ASCII art require a fixed-width font (non-proportional fonts, as on a traditional typewriter) such as Courier for presentation.
