FIG
Designed by Eric Olson 2001–2002

Named after the collaboration of Frank Sheeran, Ian Chai and Glenn Chappell that produced the FIGlet application, FIG is a set of three typefaces in the spirit of early email and ASCII art explorations. Written in 1991 using the programming language C, the FIGlet application allows users to create fonts with basic ASCII characters (see some examples of FIGlets). The FIG types capture the simplicity of the FIGlets with a family that includes a sans, serif and script.
