Author's note

Olympukes Light by Jonathan Barnbrook and Marcus McCallion is a free Olympic satire dingbat font that turns sport pictograms into blunt little scenes of money, medals, judging, and spectacle. The repeated stick-figure language keeps the set coherent, while cash bags, dollar signs, and podium-like poses give the icons a sharp editorial bite instead of reading as neutral sports symbols.

That angle makes Olympukes Light especially useful for protest graphics, zines, opinion pieces, event posters, and magazine sidebars about sponsorship or corruption in sport. It can also punctuate social posts or blog headers where a small symbolic image needs to suggest competition, commerce, and criticism all at once.
