You beat me to it. I can confirm your observation. I was set to post the draft below: I updated my Rawhide 24-hours ago. Since then, I lost textual output. I can see the GRUB menu and the Plymouth screen. After those, no texts show up any more -- only the blinking cursor remains. I can tell that there is activity on the machine because the cursor keeps moving around (changing lines like it is printing out stuff, only I can't see any texts). Some commands execute as expected (without visuals, that is). For example, "clear" sends the cursor back to the top-left corner of the screen; but I do not see the text while typing. The phenomenon is strange. So, I went on to download the latest rawhide ISO (Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-Rawhide-20210424.n.0.iso). The installation went fine (graphics and all). However, after installing, I am back to the same phenomena. This behaviour implies that one or more recent packages in rawhide repositories have bugs. Has anyone experienced this recently? Perhaps I should investigate further.
