Crafted in 2019, Afronaut PRO emerges as a testament to the captivating blend of vernacular Latin and Arabic typography found on the Senegal-Mauretania Border in St. Louis, Africa. Inspired by the rich tapestry of African lettering discovered during travels through Guinée, Bissau, Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania, and West Sahara, this typeface captures the essence of diverse cultures.
Drawing from the pages of "Afronautics – from Zambia to the Moon" by Bartek Sabela, which narrates Zambia's ambitious foray into space, Afronaut PRO marries geometric precision with the fluidity of rounded elements. The result is a striking seven-weight typeface, where many letters boast three distinct forms.
Afronaut PRO isn't just a font; it's a visual journey encompassing vernacular Arabic script, futuristic typography, and the unique lettering encountered across Africa. With its versatility, Afronaut PRO stands as a testament to the convergence of tradition and innovation, offering a dynamic aesthetic that transcends borders and resonates with global audiences.
