Ask HN: What perfectly written monospace block text am I looking for?

4•meta-level•6h ago
I don't know where else to ask, ChatGPT didn't even understand my question, but on HN had been some ASCII art related posts recently, so I give it a try..

Some time ago I stumbled upon a text - I don't even know the topic, maybe related to a computer game - which was written in perfectly aligned blocks in monospace font, without any space characters used to enforce the alignment. So every word was carefully chosen to end up with equally sized lines (no HTML trickery, worked in text editors, too).

Someone has a hint where I can find this text? Or is there even a word for this kind of art?

I think text with all the words the same length (or one shorter before a period). I asked chatGPT and got:

    Write a poem about language white all the words the same length.
Words float, bright, clear, pure,

Shaped, firm, sharp, full, sure.

Voices echo, soft, deep, near,

Sounding thick, crisp, clear, dear.

Talk spills, thick, vast, wild, warm,

Minds meet, clash, bind, form.

Tongues twist, hum, bark, sing,

Truths fall, rise, calm, bring.

All words are 4 letters long—hope you like it!
