Digibats..um..it's a word i just made up meaning dingbats made with photos from a digital camera.

"my scanner is wrecked. It's actually in bits, i thought i'd be able to fix it - i never put it back together again...anyway...what i'm getting at is that all of the images in the font were taken using my digital camera, it's all stuff in my house. Yeah, they're raw, they're lo-fi, but they have a purpose on this planet. backgrounds. layering. drop these dings at a slighly darker hue than your background then sprinkle your text on top. hey....don't listen to me..you can do what you like with them. expect more digital camera > crankin up mad contrast in photoshop then ramming it thru streamline and fontographer.....
it's got a kinda punky vibe, with the finger, sid, courtney, growler, the sneaker.......ok i'll cut to the chase....."
