What are Dingbats? Dingbats are graphic typographical ornaments which are designed to be used as spacers in typesetting. The use of dingbats can help a printed document feel less blocky and overwhelming, and they can be used to add a note of humor or sobriety to a piece, depending on the dingbats used and how they are utilized. A number of companies produce dingbat fonts, large collections of dingbats for use in computerized typesetting, and several foundries continue to cast dingbats for letterpress printers.
Dingbats as typography A dingbat is a typographical ornament, or a symbol such as an arrow or a pointing finger. Dingbats have a long and illustrious history in typography, despite their somewhat humorous name. Many type foundries continue to produce dingbats for people who work with letterpresses, and dingbats are also available in the form of digital fonts for people who work on computers. Many computers come with several dingbat fonts installed, and it is possible to obtain more. When people first began setting things in type, printers also began developing ornaments. Printer’s ornaments served several functions. In the first sense, they broke up the printed material in a design, making it easier to read and more aesthetically pleasing. They were also simply ornamental, of course, as the name implies, and they also occupied white space which might have looked awkward in a finished piece.
