Read the full guide

Four you can type on

New Year banner takes 14 characters under the greeting, and Confetti frame, your words takes 15. New Year resolutions list has three lines of 19. On New Year balloons, a year the four digits are a sample: type your own year over them.

Seven for a message box

Squash-proof lists four one-liners, a two-line greeting, a three-line firework and a five-line party hat. None starts a line with a space or has two spaces together, so a box that folds spaces cannot bend them.

  • Only the balloons carry a year, so no other piece goes out of date.
  • Rays out of line mean the font is not monospaced. The cat page explains.
  • The party popper, the fireworks and the clock as emoji are on New Year emojis.

How this list was compiled: Own work: every piece was drawn for this page on 2026-10-02, rendered in a monospaced font and looked at; none is copied from an archive or another site, and none repeats the five small pieces on the New Year emojis page. The letters of the three large greetings were laid out on grids of this site's own (five rows of number signs; three rows of bars and slashes; one box a letter), with no font file. No year is drawn in except on the balloons, where the four digits are a sample to type over. No bottle and no glass is drawn. Every character is one of the 95 printable ASCII characters, U+0020 to U+007E. Squash-proof means no line starts with a space and no two spaces touch. The comment box badge means at most 8 lines and 30 columns: a rule of thumb of this site, not a promise about any app. Licence: own work
