Author's note

Borthick's Braille by Steven Borthick is a free Braille dingbat font built from crisp circular dots arranged on a regular cell grid. The marks shift dramatically between tiny points and large disks, creating a punched, signal-like texture. Each cluster reads as both symbol and pattern.

Circular forms can echo indicator lights, game tokens, or perforated surfaces, making the font apt for technology posters, puzzle graphics, experimental editorial pages, and patterned packaging. Its clearest role is in designs that treat Braille cells as modular graphic imagery on the page rather than ordinary lettering.
