Fronto is embodied by an upright posture and holding a cup in his right hand, has a simplified shape, wears a raglan shirt with the F logo on his chest and complete with his pants and shoes. The costume from Fronto is inspired by the costume of American students in the 70s, with the hope that The Frontier House's coffee shop business can remain standing, become big, and everlasting.
