TEXTMODE?

Textmode is an art form where pictures are made out of text characters, often in a purpose-made mono font, like so:

┌♥♡♡─┐┌──┐ │∙∙∙⟏││†3│ │∙☠∙∙││⛨1│ │∙∙@∙││⚱⚱│ │∙∙∙∙││⚷⚷│ └────┘└──┘ ┌────────┐ │you take│ │-1♥ dmg!│ └───────▼┘

(try selecting the image above!)

ABOUT THIS PACK

In designing this font, I wanted to capture look & feel of retro terminal typefaces, but with a fantasy dungeon crawler spin to it.

To that end, two variants are offered:

dungeon-437, a fully code page 437 compliant ASCII version, for the DOS purists out there;
dungeon-mode, a more textmode-ready charset, with a fuller icon-like and tileset-adjacent glyph selection.
