Sam's Dingbats No.2

Sam's Dingbats No. 2 is Samuel Marcius’s 1998 free pictogram dingbats font, built from blunt white symbols knocked out of heavy black circles. The set has a playful, slightly cryptic feel: the motifs read like simplified emblems or badges, with chunky silhouettes, a hand-drawn wobble, and just enough abstraction to keep them from feeling like standard signage.

It works well anywhere a designer wants graphic spots rather than text-on posters, zines, flyers, packaging, record sleeves, and title cards-and this free font also suits labels, stamps, and divider marks in layouts that need bold circular accents. Because each symbol arrives as a self-contained disc, the letters behave more like ready-made marks than ordinary ornament.
