HeadsForYourAds Font

Heads For Your Ads is M. Klein's free cartoon portrait dingbat font. The hand-drawn figures mix broad black shapes with wiry outlines, expressive faces, elaborate hats, and period clothing, recalling the busy charm of early illustrated newspaper cartoons and fashion advertisements.

Editorial design is an especially good medium for these illustrated characters, which can add comic commentary to magazine features, advertisements, and entertainment posters. For merchandise, each portrait can become a memorable mascot, cameo badge, costume reference, or part of a larger comic scene, extending the font beyond ordinary symbols into the subject matter of the finished printed artwork itself.
