Danfo is an ELSH axis variable font with three main styles at 0,50, and 100. Danfo covers all of the Google SSA character set. The three styles reflect different cut-out shapes inspired by the vinyl cut-out lettering of the public transportation buses in Lagos, Nigeria.
Afrotype is Seyi Olusanya. David Udoh, and Eyiyemi Adegbite collaborated on the design and drawing work for Danfo. Danfo was produced together with Mirko Velimirović who provided technical, drawing, and font engineering assistance.
