Anton
Fontshare · Vernon Adams · 2022
A reworked advertising sans serif by Vernon Adams, digitised and reshaped with opened counters for bold display use on the web.
About
Vernon Adams took a traditional advertising sans as his starting point, then re-digitised and reshaped the letterforms for screen, opening counters slightly and optimising stems for bold display rendering in modern browsers. Only a single Regular weight is available, but the design is unapologetically heavy and suited to headlines and banners. Licensed under the SIL Open Font License and distributed freely via Fontshare.
Classification
Fontshare categorises Anton as Sans, Display; it is a reworked advertising sans serif with letterforms reshaped for bold display use, with opened counters and optimised stems rather than general text setting.
