This colorful new font doesn’t use a single letter

Poly Mono is like Wingdings, if Wingdings was colorful, geometric, and obsessed with Karel Martens.

When is a font no longer a font?

Poly Mono, a new font made of shapes instead of letters, blurs that line. Like Wingdings, the dingbat font made of primitive emoji-like characters, Poly Mono isn’t actually designed for spelling anything out. Instead, the font’s characters are geometric squares, circles, lines, and other shapes that can be arranged into designs. The characters are monospaced, or all the same height and width, so they tile perfectly.
