Scarab font by Iconian Fonts is a free decorative display typeface that turns every letter into a stylized beetle emblem. Each character sits inside a bold, outlined scarab shell, with geometric line work that feels both ancient and slightly futuristic. The repeating bug silhouettes create a rhythmic, stamped look-almost like etched icons on stone or metal-so your words feel more like artifacts than text.
Using Scarab, titles instantly gain a mythic, Egyptian-inspired energy that works beautifully for game logos, adventure posters, escape room branding, themed events, book covers, and museum exhibits. This free font shines at large sizes where the scarab shapes can be fully appreciated; pair it with a simple, light sans serif for body copy so the intricate beetle frames stay center stage.

Description
Contemporary sans serif design, Scarab contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, Regulars1otions.ScarabScar
