Display larger text and/or numbers

[Doctor-love]

Greetings,

I would like to display some characters (more specifically, numbers) that are bigger than the "regular" terminal text.
I understand why this would be a challenge (font-size is set by the terminal), but perhaps ASCII-/ANSI-art could be used to represent something like a "seven-segment display". See mock-up below.

Do y'all have any other suggestions for how I may accomplish this with Textual? Keep up the good work!

ascii / unicode art should work quite well. You might want to use this library which is known to work with Textual.

Thanks Will, I've also bookmarked that library for future reference!

Before you posted, I had some fun quickly knocking together this Textual app for generating text banners (using FIGlet which looks like a subset of available fonts from the library you've linked):
