King Tut
slabEgyptian Expanded
A restoration and expansion of Miller & Richard's 1850 Egyptian Expanded, a bold wide slab-serif rooted in 19th-century print advertising.
About
King Tut revives a single bold face from the Edinburgh foundry Miller & Richard, a genre that spread widely through Victorian England and became synonymous with American wild west typography. The design balances wide, compact letterforms with curved detailing that reads clearly even at tight settings. Its impact comes from that tension between density and refinement rather than from raw weight alone.
Classification
Revival of Miller & Richard's Egyptian Expanded (1850). Wide, compact letterforms with elegant curves. Associated with 19th-century wild west poster aesthetic.
