Mistodon: Wendy's may be the only fast food chain to print #ASCIIart burgers on their receipts, but if you could eat one at #BurgerKing truly you could #HaveItYourWay. Until then, this newschool logo by @Codefenix will have to suffice. (As seen in the new IMBIBE01 electronic magazine!)

ASCII Art is so beautiful that when I see it I remain speechless and staring at it for several minutes: it is a real art and I admire anyone who is capable of creating these masterpieces!
Have a look here:

ASCII art in Fediverse. Its just not easy. Lots of variables, many instances support MD or other hypertext features, which is awesome for text reading but not art so much. lol
some things just get lost unless you do code block.... which is also not always supported.
Mistodon: also served as a side with our newly-released Imbibe food-themed e-mag is a tasting flight of other delicious text and semigraphics art - here is a sampling of some tasty #teletext and #ASCIIart, an Xbin and a #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen.

Given the issue of pre-formatting ASCII art which I intended to use on my site's navbar, I searched for "font emulating ASCII art" and stumbled upon this great article written by @adelfaure for @velvetyne , titled "About ASCII art and Jgs font":
https://velvetyne.fr/news/about-ascii-art-and-jgs-font/
Both the article content I quickly glanced at, and the look and feel of Velvetyne's site, made me abandon my search and detour immediately into reading the whole article. And I loved it!
I've been a long time fan of what I now learned may be more precisely referred to as "Textmode Art" -- ever since my childhood encounters with various bulletin board software which would always be tagged by amazing ASCII and ANSI art and positively bangin' electronic beats!
Not only does the article have an engaging overview of the history of textmode art and what it is, but it also links to some prolific communities like Sixteen Colors ( https://16colo.rs/ ) -- whereupon I found this amazing ANSI art piece attached featured.
