After reading "Afronautics – from Zambia to the Moon" by Bartek Sabela (about Zambian conquest of space) a breif was set to create typeface that looks like mix between: vernacular Arabic script, futuristic typography and some special lettering that Mateusz found in Africa during his travels to Guinée, Bissau, Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania and West Sahara.

Afronaut is only one style typeface but many letters has 3 different forms.
