Author's note

Beardfaces by Manfred Klein is a free portrait dingbat font built from eccentric line-drawn faces and extravagant beards. Each figure combines staring eyes, crooked noses, and sweeping facial hair, with fine pen marks set against solid tapered shapes for a lively, surreal caricature style.

Poster design can use these ready-made heads as focal illustrations, and the same odd humor suits event graphics, album artwork, and novelty packaging. Its most convincing role is as an illustrated emblem, since every character reads as a complete personality rather than a piece of conventional lettering.
