Founding Year

Afrotype is a type foundry founded by Seyi Olusanya, dedicated to creating typefaces grounded in African history and culture, aiming to subvert clichés around African graphic design. They specialize in crafting fonts inspired by African heritage, such as "Tac," a bold sans-serif typeface inspired by the Festac '77 wordmark, and "Danfo," a Tuscan slab serif reflecting the iconic 'Danfo' buses of Lagos. Afrotype's collaborations with designers like Mirko Velimirović and their active presence on platforms like GitHub and Google Fonts highlight their commitment to blending traditional African elements with contemporary type design.
