Author's note

Radbats 4, Chris Brown's free smiley dingbat font from 1998, leans into playful iconography with rounded faces, simple eyes, and cheeky grins built from small repeated shapes. The set feels light, a little mischievous, and clearly made for graphic moments where a plain symbol would be too neutral.

It fits zines, flyers, party invitations, sticker graphics, club posters, and scrapbook pages, where a free font with this much expression can work as a spot illustration as easily as a typographic extra. Use it for badges, callout bubbles, title-card accents, or small decorative breaks when you want a cartoon sign-off rather than a conventional ornament.
