Non-Designer’s Type Book, The, Second Edition

Chapter 27. Pi & Picture Fonts

Pi (pronounced “pie”), pictograph, and picture fonts are similar to ornaments and dingbats (see the previous chapter) except that they tend to be more specific. Many smaller vendors provide these specialty fonts that don’t enjoy a large market, and they are often just what you need for a particular project. There is a font for just about everything. If you need a specialty font, order the catalogs of the smaller vendors (check Appendix B at the back of this book for vendor addresses).
