Author's note

Vidas Secas Dingbats, by Ana Paula Filipi Putka, is a free hand-drawn narrative dingbat font with a stark, editorial mood. Its visible set combines fashion-like figures, a jagged comic burst, and parched, cracked ground, all linked by restless ink outlines and bold silhouettes.

This free font fits literary posters, zine spreads, book covers, cultural event flyers, and editorial collages that need imagery with a dry, dramatic edge. The motifs also work well as chapter markers or title-card accents, where their rough contrast can punctuate short passages without behaving like conventional lettering.
