Here’s a few font experiments, more or less sensible, that you should be aware of:
- Heikki Lotvonen’s text highlighting that is built into the font itself. Does not use HTML, CSS or Javascript.
- llama.ttf that has an “AI” (LLM) built into the font itself, so when you write !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, every ! is replaced with a word. (check out the links at the bottom of that page too)
- Fontemon – world’s first videogame in a font.
QLOCK – a tiny program (321 bytes) by Martin Kleppe that shows the time, while also displaying its own source code. Learn more here and run it here. We featured a similar work by Kleppe 10 years ago.
(This is called a quine, but here it’s also called code calligram)

BB – a demo for Unix and DOS made by four Czech teenagers in 1997: Jan Hubicka, Kamil Toman, Mojmir Svoboda and Filip Kupsa. They made a notorious library for ASCII-conversion, AA-lib, which was later used for example in Hasciicam and VLC (see Wikipedia). They also made Aview that lets you browse the web in ASCII, ASCII-3D-2000 that creates stereogram ASCII, and more. It’s a similar spirit to the ASCII Art Ensemble.
