Author's note

Time to Get a Watch by Melissa Choyce is a free clock-hand dingbat font built around spiky hands, round hubs, and thin pointer forms that feel lifted from old watches and instrument dials. The set mixes long needle shapes with small geared centers and a few sharply angled pieces, so the overall mood lands somewhere between horology, steampunk, and cabinet-of-curiosities ornament.

Use this free font in posters, event flyers, packaging, scrapbook pages, title cards, or chapter openers where a small cluster of these marks can frame a date or suggest time passing. It also works for logos, monograms, and decorative dividers, since the motifs read quickly and give layouts a precise, clockwork accent.

Created for a college special studies course. The project expresses "time" as the font's theme. It was the creator's first attempt at making a font.

Free for any use at all, whether personal or commercial.
