Anadolu was created by Matt Chisholm and released by Glyphobet. Anadolu contains 1 design. p > Anadolu was influenced by the unique style of indication lettering in rural Turkey, and refined based upon sign lettering in Hungary. Revealed here are samples in Turkish and Hungarian, in addition to Finnish and Estonian, 2 other languages in the Finno-Ugric language group with Hungarian.

The slight curve at the tops of ascenders and bottoms of descenders is inspired by the linguistic process of 'vowel harmony' in Turkish and Hungarian.

Anadolu is the Turkish name for Anatolia, the peninsula where Turkey lies. The name recalls another sans-serif typeface called for its country of origin.

The tittle on the i is reimagined as a diacritic, and the dotless ı is reimagined as the fundamental, prototypical i.

Too many typefaces deal with diacritics as afterthoughts. Considering that diacritics are integral to the languages that inspired Anadolu, they were designed as core parts of the typeface.
