Author's note

Running N Circles, Gabrielle Gaither's free esoteric dingbat font from 1998, gathers suns, looping rosettes, and pinwheel-like emblems into a lively, hand-drawn symbol set. The motifs feel folk-art and slightly mystical, with repeating circles, teardrop petals, and flame shapes that keep the collection cohesive without making it rigid.

This free font works well anywhere ornamental marks need more personality than plain dividers: poster borders, album art, zines, tarot or astrology packaging, and scrapbook pages. Use it for spot graphics, chapter breaks, title cards, or small badge-like accents when you want round, radiating forms that read more like symbols than simple decoration.
