Bongos Fuente
Nota del autor
Bongos by Robert Allgeyer is a free geometric dingbat font built from stark bars, crosses, and parallel lines. Its symbols use simple, rigid strokes with abrupt right angles and occasional heavy blocks. The spare construction gives the collection the direct look of diagrams, markers, or coded notation.
In a design, these forms can act as interface marks or pieces of an invented wayfinding system rather than ordinary lettering. They suit game graphics and electronic music artwork, where cryptic symbols can support technical or futuristic themes. Posters and merchandise can also use the signs as repeating emblems or pattern elements, linking these applications through the font's stripped-back geometry.

Descripción
Bongos and Bongos 2 differ in the vertical placement of symbols relative to the (real or imaginary) horizontal line that connects X-heads.
This font may be used like any True Type font in a word processor. It may be useful for illustrating a line of X-head musical notation, of the kind sometimes used by drummers. It may also be useful for showing the rhythm of spoken words.
Lowercase characters do not contain a horizontal line linking them. Uppercase characters are linked by a horizontal line.
Use the font with a character map that magnifies the symbols, so you can see what you are doing. Sometimes, part of a symbol (such as beams or triplets notation) may not be readily visible when inspecting a character.
The font includes whole through sixteenth notes and rests. Dotted notes are available. Eighth and sixteenth notes may be beamed, including rests and dots. There is a percussion clef, measure bar, repeats, and system close.
Triplets may also be constructed.
There is not much logic between keyboard strokes and musical symbols. Use a character map to hunt for what you need.
