Aegyptus by George Douros of Unicode Fonts for Ancient Scripts is a free high-contrast serif font with a distinctly classical bearing. Tall capitals combine fine hairlines with broad, gently swelling strokes and crisp, tapered serifs. The lowercase forms are more fluid and inclined, with long curves and pointed endings that lend the family an elegant manuscript note.
Classical engravings make an apt visual companion. Its tapered strokes and sweeping curves suit museum publishing, historical book covers, exhibition posters, and refined packaging, where lettering can echo etched lines and borders.
Ars longa, vita brevis; this is the final version of Aegyptus. The font encodes some 7100 Egyptian Hieroglyphs, all with a graphical representation. The main sources of glyphs are Hieroglyphica PIREI I² and the work of Alan Gardiner. Egyptian Hieroglyphs are allocated in the Supplementary Private Use Plane 15, for the lack of a standard. The font also covers Basic Latin, Egyptian Transliteration characters, Meroitic, some Punctuation and other Symbols and the Gardiner set of Egyptian Hieroglyphs supported by The Unicode Standard 5.2
