About
Based on typefaces produced by the Berthold and Lehmann foundries in St. Petersburg during the early 1900s, Lehmann Egyptian carries the chunky proportions and sturdy serifs characteristic of that era's advertising type. Three styles cover display-weight use cases, while a stylistic set of historical forms provides additional period authenticity. Despite its display orientation, the designers note it holds up well at smaller text sizes.
