Description-en: Make large character ASCII banners out of ordinary text
Figlet (Frank, Ian & Glenn's Letters) is a program that creates large
characters out of ordinary screen characters.
.
It can create characters in many different styles and can
kern and "smush" these characters together in various ways. Figlet
output is generally reminiscent of the sort of "signatures" many people
like to put at the end of e-mail, Usenet and MOTD messages.
