Author's note

B5 Symbols by Michael Lee, Josh Dixon and Keith Nelson is a free retro-futurist dingbat font with a playful space-age mood. The visible set mixes streamlined rockets, saucers, and fan-shaped alien emblems, drawn with a crisp cartoon line that feels half pulp sci-fi, half mid-century novelty graphic.

This free font fits poster accents, zine pages, themed flyers, arcade-style branding, and title cards where a few symbols can carry the whole atmosphere. It also makes sense for logos, badges, and quick decorative breaks, since the icons read like tiny spacecraft insignias rather than generic ornaments.
