ASCII (genuary day 9)

Large letters made from tiny letters. As the most obvious approach to ASCII art, I've created a symbol from each printable character and sorted them by how much of the area is filled by their strokes, then drawn the bigger text, rasterized the image and replaced each pixel with a letter according to its colour. I've added a little bit of noise so the fully black areas would be made up of different letters, and not just repeated '@' symbols. The smallest letters are only about 1.5mm tall and some of them can't be made out properly even with this very thin pen.
