## What it is
cfonts is a command line tool and library that renders large, colorful ANSI/ASCII fonts in the terminal, available in both Rust and Node.js implementations. It lets developers generate stylish text banners for CLI output.

## Use cases
- render big ascii art text banners in the terminal
- add styled ansi fonts to my cli tool output
- generate colorful console headers for scripts
- print sexy ascii fonts from the command line
- display large text in a shell script

## When to choose
- you want eye-catching ASCII/ANSI text banners in a terminal
- you need a Rust or Node.js library for styled console text
- you want a simple CLI installable via brew, cargo, or npm

## When to avoid
- you need actual font files or TTF rendering
- you need non-terminal text styling like web fonts
- you need Unicode-safe rendering in narrow terminals

- maturity: active
- function: cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform, rust
- tags: ascii-art, ansi, terminal-fonts, banner-generator, command-line, nodejs
