Author's note

Dinoso Type font by Michel Bujardet is a free dinosaur dingbat typeface that turns your layout into a tiny prehistoric parade. Each glyph is a bold, inky silhouette-spiky tails, sweeping necks, flapping wings-lined up like a row of toy figures. The forms are clean and chunky, easy to read even at small sizes, so dropping a dino icon into text or a layout feels quick and fuss-free.

Using Dinoso Type, you can build playful worksheets, children’s book pages, museum flyers, party invitations, classroom posters, or themed web graphics in seconds. The consistent stroke weight makes these dinos stack nicely into borders or repeat patterns. This free font pairs smoothly with a simple rounded sans serif for headings; keep Dinoso Type slightly larger than your text to let the silhouettes stay crisp and recognizable.
