Author's note

Arqui by Leo Barbosa of FSI FontShop International GmbH is a free architectural dingbat font built from stark geometric symbols. Its squared passages and blunt corners suggest simplified floor plans.

Architecture and the built environment are the clearest subjects for this unusual collection, especially in exhibition posters, editorial features, and cultural event graphics that use diagram-like marks to echo plans, circulation, and constructed space. It can also shape wayfinding concepts and identity work for design studios, linking these uses through a shared vocabulary of rooms, routes, entrances, and structural forms that can function as symbols instead of text within graphics.
