comic-mono-font
A legible monospace font... the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood
And with some help from a slightly modified asciichart.js (and modifying the DOM to use a monospaced font), I was also able to generate a text-based chart as well, so I can easily view "X over time" or whatever data from my servers. It's been super useful and helped me catch a few bugs in my scripts tbh.
I've been playing around with the Go language and it looks like someone ported asciichart.js to Go: https://github.com/guptarohit/asciigraph
For fonts someone create a monospace version of comic sans: https://github.com/dtinth/comic-mono-font
