Anton is Vernon Adams’s digital rework of a traditional advertising sans serif: the narrow, heavy letters once used on shop posters and newspaper ads. When he redrew it for screens, he opened the counters a little and tuned the stems, so the letters stay clean when set large and bold in a browser.

There is one style, Regular, and it is already very bold. Because the letters are narrow, a long headline fits on one line. Unlike Bebas Neue, Anton has a full lowercase, so it also works for headlines in sentence case. It earns its place on posters, video thumbnails, sports graphics and sale banners. Keep it out of body text: at paragraph sizes the dense strokes run together.

Pair it with a quiet text face and let the headline do the work. DM Sans or Inter sit well underneath. If you need several weights of a condensed sans, look at Oswald.

Anton covers Western, Central and South-Eastern European languages, Vietnamese and African Latin.
