Egypt Axt

by Manfred Klein · Website

Egypt Axt is a chunky, irregular display face from Manfred Klein that splits the difference between Egyptian slab serif and old Western wood type, with heavy letterforms that feel hand-carved and slightly uneven. The thick strokes and decorative weight give it a rough, tactile presence, like letters stamped from wooden blocks. Best kept to headlines, posters, and display work where its bold, offbeat personality can do the talking.
