These diagrams are really beautiful, I love the subtle separation in the lines showing that they're made of hypens. Is there some software that makes these easy to generate?

I don't know if this is what the author used but I use Monodraw[0] to make diagrams like this.

I had the same question and dug around in the repo to find out. It is indeed Monodraw:

I'm excited to use this tool.

While pretty, whatever generated it appears to have removed the semantic information that it's text from it. (All of the "characters" are actual SVG paths, not actual text.)

Yes I'm disappointed that the image isn't made from monospace Unicode box drawing [1] and block element [2] characters.
