Eclectic
By Altered Ego
The Eclectic family is legendary, with a cult-like following among the inititated. As one of the first dingbat fonts available on the web, it gain popularity after its design in the early 1990s. With over 150 characters in the complete set, you’ll find yourself using Eclectic One almost daily to add spice to your otherwise san-serif typographic existence.
This font is essentially a soap opera of typographic image elements, created for projects when I couldn’t find the thingbat I needed. Almost more of a collection of illustrations, there are many characters which connect to form patterns, and of course it’s like a small neutral European country army knife for the creative community.
EcOne features complete hour, quarter, and half-hour notations in an analog clock design glyph, recycled/recyclable symbols, a registration mark, a toaster, globes, sideways diamond arrows, spaceships, stoplights, the running man, several atomic references, da buzz saw, target icons, the unusual smiley face floating in a ball (with a drop shadow, no less!), and the fish skeleton which complements the fallout shelter symbol, and more. Make your own juxtapositions!
One reviewer proclaims for whatever you do, Eclectic One is an excellent dingbat source.
