A framebuffer terminal you can use in a tty. Neat!
Doesn't look maintained since 2015.

Usage

/usr/bin/fbterm

You can render higher resolution fonts, images, etc which is pretty neat.
For example running this prior to a framebuffer can set a wallpaper.

# hide cursor
echo -ne "\e[?25l"
# display fullscreen-stretched image and quit viewer without screen refreshing

EOF
# use current screen state as a wallpaper
export FBTERM_BACKGROUND_IMAGE=1
