Step into the world of Afronaut PRO, the groundbreaking typeface unveiled in 2019. This font is a mesmerizing amalgamation of vernacular Latin and Arabic typography discovered on the Senegal-Mauretania border in St. Louis, Africa. The inspiration stems from the geometric precision harmonizing with the graceful, rounded elements.
The genesis of Afronaut PRO lies in the pages of "Afronautics – from Zambia to the Moon" by Bartek Sabela, chronicling Zambia's bold venture into space exploration. Motivated by this narrative, the objective was clear: craft a typeface embodying the essence of vernacular Arabic script, futuristic typography, and unique lettering encountered during travels across Guinée, Bissau, Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania, and West Sahara.
Afronaut PRO boasts seven distinct weights, with numerous letters offering three diverse forms. It seamlessly functions as the quintessential version of the Yalla Typeface, adding a touch of African heritage to the realm of modern typography. Afronaut PRO stands as a testament to cultural fusion, bridging continents through the artistry of letters.
