Author's note

Dada Meets Stoneage by M. Klein is a free prehistoric dingbat font built from wiry hand-drawn figures and animals, with long limbs, looping outlines, and skeletal crosshatching reminiscent of woven nets. Uneven strokes give each pictogram the look of a cave-wall sketch.

Museum educators and cultural venues exploring archaeology can use these spare marks for posters, merchandise, and educational games because their crude outlines resemble improvised artifacts. In editorial design, the repeated stick-like bodies and creature silhouettes can function as marginal ornaments or story markers in children's history books and independent experimental magazines devoted to art, myth, or visual anthropology.
