Where it works

At 4 rows it reads as a banner without taking over the message it sits in.

About 6 columns per character. A five-letter word lands near 30 columns, comfortable in a README.

About this font

Taken from the credits inside Graceful.flf:

Graceful-6x4 by Mikhael Goikhman, 20/Jan/2002.

Why did I make this font? Most of the figlet fonts are ugly for my taste.

Chars ".", "'" or "|" are not as graceful as "(", ")", "/", "\" and "_".

Also most of the fonts unlike this one are either small or good, not both.

And finally, I wanted to have a strictly sized font, this one is 6x4.

I intended to create this elegant figlet font in 1996, but only in

January 2002 actually had the time to bring it to the working state. :)

Cyrillic letters are supported, maybe somewhen I will add hebrew latters.

To get a monospaced font 6x4, use "figlet -f graceful -m -1". Enjoy!
