Write#

Using the write command, you can transform regular text into beautiful, giant letters in the terminal:

โฑ ttt write -f kiwisoda 'Hello, world!'

And since text commands accept inputs from pipes, the following POSIX madness is not only possible but also very awesome:

$ ls -al | head -3 | ttt write -f m3x6
