About Anta

Anta is a sans serif typeface whose letters are constructed from straight strokes and squared curves. In the specimen the bowls of a, b, d, o and p are rectangles with rounded corners, the crossbar of the capital A is cut off at an angle, the 4 is open at the top, and stroke thickness stays uniform. The lowercase a is a single-storey box with one straight side, the most recognisable of what the official notes call its constructed glyph shapes. Sergej Lebedev designed Anta for screen publications, and the notes name graphic design and branding as fitting uses. The family has one Regular style, with no bold or italic, and is not a variable font. It contains 403 glyphs for Latin and Latin Extended. Anta is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Anta works

Technology branding
Boxy bowls and even strokes give a product or company name an engineered, machine-made look.
Game and app interface titles
Anta was drawn for screens; screen titles, scoreboards and menu headings show its squared forms clearly.
Posters for events and esports
The angled cut in the A and the open 4 give dates and titles a distinct outline at large sizes.
Dashboards and device labels
Uniform strokes and squared numerals keep short labels and figures tidy on panels and readouts.
