18 Exquisite Dot Fonts That Will Your Designs From Dull To Fun
While it’s common to see polka dots today – from dresses, curtains, wallpaper, to cakes – it wasn’t always the case. In fact, the pattern wouldn’t be perfected until the creation of the first working sewing machine in the mid-1800s. By then they could make symmetrical circles.
While it’s still debatable how the beloved rows of dots got its name, many attribute it to the popularity of the Czech peasant dance with the same name (polka). The term was officially mentioned in women’s lifestyle magazine, Godey’s Lady’s Book, to describe a scarf.
Eventually, polka dots became mainstream thanks to Marilyn Monroe’s famous snapshot, Frank Sinatra’s song, ‘Polka Dots and Moonbeams’, and Christian Dior’s 1954 New Look collection. Today, you can see the bubbly print worn by everyone, including the Royal Family.
Don’t let this fun design pass you by. Cross your T’s and dot your I’s with these pretty dot fonts.
