We are celebrating Africa by re-issuing some of the best of our African fonts and offering this Afro Style Collection at an amazingly affordable price.
Capture the true Spirit of Africa with fonts from the Afro Style Collection:
Four African patterns, two from central Africa, one from Mali, and one from the Zulu & Ndebele cultures of our province, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
African Gold - a tribute to the men who labour to extract gold from under the city eGoli (Johannesburg). Used in large format, the intricate patterns within the font depict the delicacy of the metal.
The Assegai (or throwing spear) symbolises the bravery of the proud Zulu warriors. The Assegai font with it vigorous line, suggests the ever moving warrior.
Carve, robust, structured, bold and impassive, is reminiscent of the boldly carved masks of tribes of central Africa.
Doorn - display and body - is aptly named for the spiky thorns on the dry bushes of the Kalahari desert.
Lagos - regular and light - named for a city that is full of the energy and dynamism of modern Africa while retaining the essence of its tribal origins.
Umkhonto - named for “Umkhonto we Sizwe, the Spear of the Nation” - the armed branch of the ANC, whose members sacrificed so much for the freedom long denied them.
Zaire - captures the magic of the mask, representing the dance, the ceremony, the secret society. It evokes the very heart of Africa.
So what you get is a pastiche of African design - stylish, funky, magical, ethnic yet contemporary.
