Generate retro-style ASCII text in 30 figlet fonts, powered by figlet.js in the browser.
Where: /tools/signature
How to use:
- Type your name, handle, or short phrase (up to 30 chars).
- Pick a font from the dropdown — the preview renders live as you type or switch fonts.
- Copy the output, or (if logged in) click Use as Signature to drop it straight into the signature editor above.
Available fonts (30):
- Popular classics — Standard, Slant, Big, Small, Banner, Banner 3-D, Block, Shadow
- 3-D / Dimensional — 3-D, 3D ASCII, Isometric, Larry 3D
- Bold display — Colossal, Doom, Epic, Ogre, Alligator, Roman
- Cyber / Sci-fi — Cyber Large / Medium / Small, Ghost, Star Wars, Sub-Zero
- Stylised — ANSI Regular, ANSI Shadow, Graffiti, Avatar, Basic, Bloody
Technical notes:
- Uses the standalone figlet.js bundle (43 KB) — same engine as the popular asciiart-text generator.
- Font files (
.flf, plain-text FIGlet format) are vendored under/assets/figlet/fonts/so nothing depends on an external CDN at request time. - Rendering happens client-side on every keystroke (debounced 150 ms). Switching fonts lazy-loads the
.flfon first use, then caches it in-memory for the rest of the session. - JavaScript disabled? Use the Generate (no-JS) button — the server-side renderer falls back to one of the three legacy block fonts.
Saved signature flow: clicking Use as Signature copies the rendered ASCII into the editor above. From there the existing Show my signature on forum posts toggle + Save Signature button work as before. Max signature length is 500 characters, so keep the text short if you're using a tall font — the renderer will happily generate 10-line-tall art that eats your whole allowance.
Tip: fonts like ANSI Shadow, Colossal, and Star Wars look great for multi-character banners but look cramped on 2–3 characters. Small, Banner, and Slant are the best compact picks.
