- Description
- Webdings is a display dingbat typeface designed by Vincent Connare in 1997. It was initially distributed with Internet Explorer 4.0 and later included in all versions of Microsoft Windows since Windows 98. This typeface features a variety of symbol groups, including weather icons, architectural structures, vehicles, ICT symbols, and characters not available on an English keyboard. Webdings gained attention for its unique character sequence 'NYC' which represents the eye, heart, and city skyline in reference to the I Love New York logo. Notable features include the 'man in business suit levitating', inspired by the 2 Tone Records logo, and the lightning bolt symbol modeled after David Bowie's Aladdin Sane album cover.
