Afronaut PRO: A Futuristic Typeface Journey

The inception of Afronaut PRO in 2019 marked a groundbreaking fusion of vernacular Latin and Arabic typographic influences, inspired by the vibrant cultural tapestry of St. Louis on the Senegal-Mauritania border, Africa. Infused with geometric precision and fluid, rounded elements, Afronaut PRO emerged as a testament to the convergence of tradition and innovation.

Borne from the pages of "Afronautics – from Zambia to the Moon" by Bartek Sabela, which chronicles Zambia's bold foray into space exploration, Afronaut PRO embarked on a quest to encapsulate the essence of vernacular Arabic script, futuristic typography, and indigenous African lettering discovered during extensive travels across GuinĂ©e, Bissau, Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania, and West Sahara.

With its seven meticulously crafted weights and a myriad of letters boasting three distinct forms, Afronaut PRO transcends mere typeface design, embodying a versatile tool akin to the esteemed Yalla Typeface. Afronaut PRO stands as a testament to the boundless creativity sparked by cultural cross-pollination and the unyielding spirit of exploration.
