Most fonts are used to represent text, while others like Wingdings supply a number of glyphs, shapes, and other graphics. Apple took a turn at creating their own typeface devoid of linguistic restrictions in celebration of the Mac’s 30th anniversary, and Greg Barbosa, the iOS developer who discovered it, has directed interested parties toward a download link.
Originally used on the Thirty Years of Mac page on Apple’s official site, the font consists of simple line drawing representing the many Mac models that have existed over the year, from 1984’s Macintosh to the 2013 version of the Mac Pro. All are accounted for, including a few one-off oddities and less successful models.
The font itself is designed so that it cannot be used with a standard keyboard, but opening OS X’s Font Book allows each character to be copied and pasted, offering interesting graphical options for designers looking for that perfect old school computer icon. Follow the download link below to grab the whole pack.
