The most authentic way is to play with ASCII. The rogue @ as your character is iconic. The original game was that way and graphic options were added much later.
It takes a bit to get used to. I saw a YouTube video of a guy talking about him playing Angband as a kid and how his imagination would take over and eventually he didn’t see the ASCII and his mind imagined what they represented.
I dislike the graphical options in Angband.
You do you. Not telling you what to do. But I recommend giving the ASCII a shot.
I only play Fps, Tps, Rts and Rpg.. with a touch of open world

Maybe you're right. I've played a number of text adventure games and thoroughly enjoyed them. The mind tends to supply what the eyes don't see.
