About Anton Fonts

Anton is a reworking of a traditional advertising sans serif typeface. The letter forms have been digitised and then reshaped for use as a webfont, the counters have been opened up a little and the stems optimised for use as bold display font in modern web browsers.

Anton language support includes now African Latin and full coverage of Vietnamese, additional to all Western, Central, and South-Eastern European languages.

Who Designed Anton?

Vernon Adams

Vernon practiced typeface design professionally from 2007 to 2014. A lifelong artist, during this period he eagerly explored designing type for the mobile/cloud era of computing. His work spans all genres, from lively script faces to workhorse text families and operating system UI. Vernon graduated with an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading (UK) in 2006, and passed away in California in 2014. Almost all his typefaces live on as open source Google Fonts, and his favorite projects were Oxygen Mono, Monda, and Bowlby One. Follow his story at sansoxygen.com
