About

Egyptienne-E is based directly on a letterform found in the wood type collection at ESAD Valence, preserving the heavy, bracketed serifs typical of nineteenth-century Egyptian display faces. Designed by Cédric Rossignol-Brunet and released as a free download, it occupies the narrow category of institutional wood type revivals made available to the public.
