About Anton SC

Anton SC is a display typeface that the official notes describe as the small-caps version of Anton. Anton itself reworks an advertising sans of the traditional kind: the letterforms were digitised, the counters opened a little and the stems adjusted so that the face holds up as bold display type in web browsers. The specimen shows very dark, tall and narrow letters with flat sides, tight spacing and small slits for counters, so a long line takes little width. Anton SC is a single Regular file and is not a variable font. Its 1,326 glyphs are many for a one-style family, and they extend to Latin Extended, African Latin and Vietnamese. Vernon Adams is credited as the designer, and the copyright notice names The Anton Project Authors. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Anton SC works

Banner and poster headlines

Tall, narrow letters put many characters on one line at a large size, the advertising use the source design came from.

Web hero titles

Counters were opened and stems tuned for browser rendering, so the heavy letters do not clog on screen.

Labels and section tags

Dark, compact words mark a category, a price flash or a section head in little horizontal space.

Headlines in many Latin-script languages

With 1,326 glyphs the font carries accents for Central European languages, Turkish and Vietnamese in the same heavy style.

Things to know

Lowercase keys give small capitals

Typing lowercase in Anton SC produces small capitals. The files keep ordinary lowercase letters and swap them for small capitals through an OpenType feature that browsers and layout applications apply by default; software that ignores OpenType features shows the plain lowercase.

One weight

The only style is Regular 400, which is drawn very heavy. There is no italic.

Built for large sizes

Tight spacing and narrow counters suit titles; in small text the letters close up.
