Author's note

Insects One by Steven J. Lundeen of Emerald City Fontwerks is a free insect dingbat font built from detailed line drawings. The collection shows flies, beetles, crickets, butterflies, and moths with a naturalist's attention to wings, legs, and segmented bodies. Each silhouette stays crisp and immediately recognizable.

In editorial design, the engraved texture can turn nature features, field guides, and museum materials into illustrated pages, and it also suits specimen-style packaging. Its most convincing role is in entomology-themed publishing, where the symbols function as subject matter as well as ornament.
