Abstractions Police

Abstractions by Manfred Klein is a free human-figure dingbat font built from stark, fragmented silhouettes. Its cropped bodies and sweeping contours shift between recognizable poses and near-abstract fields, with rough edges adding a cut-paper quality.

An experimental editorial spread is its most convincing setting, since the symbols can function as both illustration and graphic interruption. They also suit art posters, album packaging, and fashion graphics with a provocative, collage-like direction. In publishing, the figures can become section markers, page ornaments, or recurring motifs that link text to imagery throughout a publication.
