Our second project with @googlefonts is live! Danfo is an improvement of Danfo Std released in 2018 designed by @ogbeniseyi . It's inspired by the vinyl cut sticker lettering popularly found on Danfo buses all around Lagos. Danfo now features a variable axis, complete punctuation, numbers, symbols and language support for well over 900 languages.
