Typewriter works by Egidija Čiricaitė, 2023. Images from her Twitter.
Topaz Unicode by Screwtape, 2024. Adds a rich set of Unicode characters to the default Amiga 500 font, and offers it as a TTF-font. New characters include
- all the Windows Glyph List 4 characters, including Cyrillic, Greek, and the MS-DOS CP437 symbols
- everything in the Box Drawing Unicode block
- everything in the Block Elements Unicode block
- a lot of things in the Symbols for Legacy Computing Unicode block
- anything else that caught my eye or seemed useful
The font is available as TTF at GitLab.

Chafa by Hans Petter Jansson converts images and video to text for terminals. We posted about it before but there are new example images that demonstrates how e.g colour and character sets affect the results.
Original
16 colours, compatible with many terminals
24-bit colour
2 default terminal colours and allows control codes for inverted characters.
240 fixed colours
No colours, no control.
Original
ASCII-fill (16 colours)
Braille fill (16 colours)
No fill (16 colours)
Offpunk is like an offline browser that saves the internet on your harddrive so you can browse it in the terminal. Images are converted with Chafa. Made by Ploum.
Offpunk obviously works best with uncomplicated websites, but if you want to browse any website in textmode, no in the terminal, you can use Browsh.
ASCII Theater by the American art collective MSCHF, 2024. An easy way to look at ANSI-versions of movies in the terminal. Today streaming Barbie, tomorrow Hereditary! From their Instagram-post:
ASCII Theater plays movies as text, directly in Terminal. A single line of code begins playing a new movie every day, like a pirate radio broadcast. The movies are rendered not as video but as colored text characters – every frame can be copied and pasted as a giant string of letters.
There is a long internet tradition of hacks to stream content online, and the resulting workarounds become creatively expressive. That kid who streamed NBA games in the reflection of his sunglasses on Twitch is a hero.
ASCII Theater is now live, streaming a new movie every day until we get shut down.
