Author's note

Langage des signes by Philippe and François Blondel is a free hand-sign dingbat font built from clean line drawings. Each symbol depicts a hand gesture with plainly outlined fingers, palms, and small crease marks. The approach is direct and instructional.

Digital graphics gain a visual vocabulary from these gesture symbols, making the font useful for accessibility materials, educational publishing, and event signage. Its illustrated hands can also become recurring icons in games or children's activities.
