Dingbats are a universal, typographic language, often used to enhance the readers experience. Not necessarily intended to replace textual content, these “glyphs” rather add flourish, pause, and emphasis to language. Completely dependent on context, these little images can be read both broadly and idiosyncratically. Their peripheral existence shapes a reading experience that hopefully goes one step beyond written words.

This ongoing website specific series of Dingbats, aims to enrich our public content. Our research and interest in all things related to the high desert region yields vast amounts of visual material—why not find another way to share those bits and pieces with our audience.

HDTS Dingbats will rotate on an occasional basis, working with high desert artists to full the voids.
