Author's note

Rayguns, a free retro sci-fi dingbat font, collects chunky ray pistols and long-barreled blasters with a pulpy serial-era attitude. The set leans on black silhouettes, exaggerated grips, and nozzle-heavy shapes that feel halfway between toy rockets and space weapons, so the overall mood is more comic-book futurism than strict military hardware.

Use this free font where a single icon can set the scene fast - poster headers, zine covers, arcade flyers, title cards, and themed badges all make sense here. It works best in short display spots or repeated patterns, since the bold weapon shapes read like graphic symbols and give layouts an instant retro space-combat cue.
