All the letters in the word “Astra,” except for the initial, belong to a plain sans serif typeface. The horizontal bar in the first “A” has been replaced by an upward curve symbolizing the aircraft flying up. Below the mainline of the logo, you can see the word “airline” in small lowercase letters, which sometimes are removed, keeping the uppercase “Astra” as the only element of the badge.
The typeface of the main logotype is very similar to modern and stable KAPITAL Regular font, with clean contours and straight cuts of the lines. Another distinctive feature of the lettering here is the open contour of the “R”, with the sharp element balancing the rounded bar of its upper part.
