Afronaut PRO was inspired by vernacular Latin & Arabic typography in St. Louis (on Senegal-Mauretania Border, Africa). Geometric forms working well and contrasting with smooth, round elements.  After reading “Afronautics – from Zambia to the Moon” by Bartek Sabela (about Zam-bian conquest of space) a breif was set to create typeface that looks like mix between: vernacu-lar Arabic script, futuristic typography and some special lettering that I found in Africa during my travels to Guinée, Bissau, Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania and West Sahara. Afronaut has seven weights, also many letters have 3 different forms. In addition to Latin, the family also has charac-ters for Cyrillic and Greek.
