The "art" you are speaking of is Ascii art. It usually requires monospaced fonts such as Courier.

Pictures consisting of typed letters and symbols are called ASCII Art. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

Ascii art.

Other art forms that involve making images composed entirely of letters include:

* calligraphy

* word cloud, text cloud, weighted list, data cloud, keyword cloud -- an image formed by making common words (or words that are "more important" in some way) physically larger, and arranging a bunch of relevant words in a dense clump.

* tag cloud -- a kind of word cloud where each word is linked to items associated with that word.
