Symbol typefaces have been created for a variety of non-text uses such as musical notation, map making, mathematics, forms, commercial publishing and desktop publishing. These fonts can put the finishing touch on a project, help with specialised tasks or designed for fun, comical situations. Sometimes these typefaces are referred to as ornaments. Ornaments can sometimes be appropriate for inclusion in type packages — both to enhance the qualities of a particular era, but also to help ‘block out’ a type package.
