Embark on a visual journey with Afronaut PRO, the groundbreaking typeface unveiled in 2019. This font seamlessly blends vernacular Latin and Arabic typography, drawing inspiration from the border of Senegal and Mauritania in St. Louis, Africa. The geometric precision of Afronaut PRO harmoniously intersects with smooth, rounded elements, creating a truly unique aesthetic.
The genesis of this typeface stems from Bartek Sabela's "Afronautics – from Zambia to the Moon," a compelling exploration of Zambia's conquest of space. The challenge was clear: fashion a typeface that marries vernacular Arabic script, futuristic typography, and distinctive lettering discovered during travels across Guinée, Bissau, Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania, and West Sahara.
Afronaut PRO boasts seven weights, each letter exhibiting three different forms. It effortlessly doubles as a regular version of the Yalla Typeface, showcasing the versatility and cultural richness embedded in this typographic masterpiece. Afronaut PRO stands as a testament to the fusion of diverse influences, offering a captivating visual narrative that transcends borders.
