Explore the captivating journey of Afronaut PRO, a groundbreaking typeface unveiled in 2019. Crafted at the crossroads of vernacular Latin and Arabic typography on the Senegal-Mauretania border in St. Louis, Africa, this font marries geometric precision with smooth, rounded elements.
The inspiration behind Afronaut PRO stems from the pages of "Afronautics – from Zambia to the Moon" by Bartek Sabela, chronicling Zambia's audacious foray into space exploration. Motivated by this narrative, the typeface seamlessly blends vernacular Arabic script, futuristic design, and unique lettering discovered during extensive travels through Guinée, Bissau, Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania, and West Sahara.
Afronaut PRO boasts seven weights, each character displaying three distinct forms. This versatile typeface not only stands as a testament to cultural richness but also serves as a refined rendition of the Yalla Typeface. Witness the convergence of history, innovation, and artistry in Afronaut PRO – a font that transcends boundaries and speaks a language of its own.
