Hello. I'm posting a tileset I made for my personal use. Similar to Nagidal's Classic ASCII tileset, but with a subtler emboss effect and more pixelated (I've added resolution detail only to certain parts of the characters, adding smoothness while retaining old-schoolness).

It's basically the default ASCII curses tileset enlarged to 200% and slightly shaded. It works beautifully with true CGA colors. Nothing to brag about, but I thought I'd share because I really like using it.

This is great! I loved Nagidal's Classic, but I've been wanting a non-square tileset and Nagidal's looked a bit too pristine.

It is terrific.

Actually there's a few flaws I've been meaning to correct. I'm not going tell what they are because once you see them you can't unsee, but I will fix them. Eventually.
I'm glad you like it!
