Annsample

Annsample font by Ann Stretton is a free dingbat font that turns simple keystrokes into bold, black‑and‑white emblems. Rounded medallions with tiny sailboats, swirling knotwork, curling waves, and pinwheel shapes feel like woodblock stamps—crisp edges, solid fills, and instant visual punch. The mix of nautical motifs and ornamental swirls gives your layouts a handcrafted, slightly mystical energy without needing any illustration work.

Using Annsample, you can quickly build badges, dividers, and background patterns for posters, zines, event flyers, album art, packaging, and social graphics. Because the symbols are so dense and inky, this free font works best at larger sizes where every curve reads clearly. Try pairing Annsample icons with a clean sans serif for text, letting the dingbats act as anchors, corners, or repeating borders to frame your message.
