About:
Font African Serif is a Unicode-compatible typeface designed to support a wide range of African languages using the Latin script.

This font is ideal for developers and designers working on multilingual applications or documents targeting African linguistic contexts.
Key Features:

  • Unicode-compatible for proper text rendering across systems
  • Optimized for screen readability and user interface integration
  • Free and open-source distribution
Use Cases:
