A square-serif Egyptian family rooted in Jim Parkinson's long-standing interest in the style, with origins in a 1970s reworking of Egiziano for New West Magazine.

About

Sutro draws on the Egyptian slab serif tradition, characterised by uniform, block-like serifs and sturdy stroke construction. Its lineage traces directly to Parkinson's redrawing of Egiziano for Roger Black at New West Magazine in the 1970s. The family is available through Fonts.com and MyFonts.

Classification

Sutro is described explicitly as a square-serif Egyptian family, placing it firmly in the slab serif tradition with geometric, block-like serifs characteristic of Egyptian display typefaces.
