African
Chunky inline caps with a carved, tribal-poster feel
African is a chunky, caps-style display font by Allen R Walden, built from thick black letters with a thin white inline running through each stroke. The edges are slightly uneven, like hand-cut stencils or carved wood, which gives it a bold tribal-poster look. Lowercase letters are just smaller-looking versions of the capitals, so everything you type reads as a headline.
It is a close match to the lettering used in marketing for the 1994 Lion King movie by Disney, so it works well for Hakuna Matata banners, Simba and Nala birthday invitations, safari and jungle party signs, school musical programs and Pride Rock themed posters. Use it large for titles, and pair it with a plain sans serif for smaller body text.
If you are looking for the serif font used on the official Lion King posters, you are probably looking for The Lion King font instead.
We also have other Disney fonts if the Lion King is not your thing.
