Sword ASCII art is a staple in fantasy gaming Discord servers, Dungeons and Dragons communities on Reddit, and medieval history enthusiast groups. The blade and crossguard are the two defining elements. Medium renders the blade taper and crossguard width clearly. For a D&D campaign announcement or a fantasy Discord channel decoration, small fits in most text fields and reads as a sword without context.

Frequently asked questions
Where is sword ASCII art most commonly used?
Fantasy roleplay and D&D Discord servers, medieval history subreddits, gaming communities covering RPGs and strategy games, and LARPing (live action roleplay) community accounts.
Does the crossguard show at small size?
At small the crossguard is a short horizontal mark across the blade. It is present and reads as a crossguard in context. Medium and large give it proper width relative to the blade.
Can I use this in a gaming community post?
Yes. Sword ASCII art works in D&D campaign announcements, fantasy game Discord server welcome messages, and roleplay community posts. Large works for a pinned post. Small works inline with text.
