Author's note

CropBats AOE font by Astigmatic is a free experimental dingbat typeface that turns letters into mysterious symbols-crop circles, orbit diagrams, hovering discs, and strange glyph clusters. The marks feel bold and inky, like they’ve been stamped into the page from some other planet, with circles and lines connecting into eerie constellations that instantly suggest UFOs and secret transmissions.

This free font shines on sci‑fi posters, conspiracy zines, game interfaces, album covers, event flyers, stickers, and T‑shirt graphics where you want a coded, otherworldly language. Using CropBats AOE as oversized icons with a clean geometric sans serif for text keeps layouts readable while the symbols handle all the intrigue.
