Author's note

Oriental Icons by House of Lime is a free Japanese crest dingbat font built from emblematic symbols rather than conventional lettering. Its designs combine compact, symmetrical silhouettes with more intricate circular marks drawn in dense, flowing lines. Each icon has the self-contained shape of a badge.

Merchandise and packaging can use these forms as ready-made emblems, especially for martial arts, heritage-inspired products, or themed events. They also suit posters and editorial features, where the recurring crests, knotted geometry, and stylized natural motifs can function as decorative seals or illustrations.
