| "Bongo" is a variation of the word NGIABONGA which means"I THANK YOU" in the Nguni languages of south and eastern Africa. The capital letters of this African font are decorated with Tabwa triangle motifs. The Tabwa triangles are a common decorative element in Central and West African wooden sculpture. The decorative style of the font also suggests that the letters are carved out of wood.
There are 153 characters in this African font: it includes all upper and lower case letters, all numerals and punctuation, and most of the characters used in the non-English European languages such as Spanish, German, French and Portuguese.
The numerals are mono-spaced so that they will line up correctly in columns of figures. The letters of the alphabet and all other characters are spaced according to their width. |
