About the font African

African is a heavy inline display face in capitals: wide, blocky letters with sharp wedge terminals and a thin white line cut through the centre of every stroke, so each letter looks like a carved, double-edged mask. The lowercase repeats the capitals, the figures are bold, and only part of the punctuation is drawn. It is a Latin-only font.

The design is reminiscent of safari-era posters, tribal-themed packaging, travel brochures, restaurant signs and adventure film titles. It gives a bold, handcrafted impression in short words at a large size. The inline hairline is lost at small sizes, and the all-capital rhythm is tiring in sentences, so keep it for titles and labels.
