Author's note

Gargish by Jim Sorenson is a free human-figure dingbat font made from solid, bold, simplified silhouettes. Rounded heads and bent limbs give the symbols a pictogram-like directness, though the unusual poses feel more comic than official. The forms are compact and geometric.

Signage can use these figures as quirky activity markers in playful venues or events. Their readable gestures also suit educational graphics, game interfaces, and children's publishing. Each symbol can become an illustrated participant or scene element rather than neutral lettering.
