OnStage Font

OnStage by Manfred Klein is a free theatrical character dingbat font built from lively hand-drawn performers in a loose pen-and-ink style. The drawings use wiry outlines, flat fills, and exaggerated stage poses.

The font is especially useful for theater posters, playbills, and event programs, where its courtly figures, dancers, comic nobles, and costumed entertainers can become scene-setting emblems throughout the page instead of ordinary text. Its storybook humor also suits children's publishing and drama-school materials, particularly for audiences with an interest in fairy tales, pantomime, historical comedy, and playful period imagery.
