Style Guide

1. Block Banner Style

Best for short text (1-8 characters). Use full block characters (█) to form letters:

██╗  ██╗██╗
██║  ██║██║
███████║██║
██╔══██║██║
██║  ██║██║
╚═╝  ╚═╝╚═╝

2. Shadow Style

Add depth with half-blocks (▄ ▀) below or beside letters:

 ▄▄▄▄▄  ▄▄▄▄▄
█     █ █     █
█  ▀▀▀  █  ▀▀▀
█  ▄▄▄  █  ▄▄▄
█     █ █     █
 ▀▀▀▀▀   ▀▀▀▀▀

3. Outlined Style

Use box-drawing for clean outlines:

╔═══════════════════════╗
║   YOUR TEXT HERE      ║
╚═══════════════════════╝

4. Gradient Style

Use block density for gradient effects:

░░▒▒▓▓██ TEXT ██▓▓▒▒░░

5. Decorative Frame Style

Combine multiple character sets:

╭─────────────────────╮
│  ★  YOUR TEXT  ★    │
│  ◆ subtitle here ◆  │
╰─────────────────────╯

Rules

Max width: 60 characters per line (terminal-safe)
Max height: 15 lines for banners, 25 for scenes
Monospace only: Output must look correct in monospace fonts
No external tools: Generate everything inline as text
Alignment: Center-align banners by default
Creativity: Mix styles freely, add decorative elements
