Fette Egyptienne

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Fette Egyptienne is a massively heavy slab serif revived by Dieter Steffmann, rooted in the bold Egyptian display types that dominated 19th-century poster printing. The letterforms are thick and commanding with high contrast between strokes and hefty bracketed slabs, giving it that unmistakable Victorian-era weight. Built for headlines, posters, and display use where you want type that fills the room like a broadside nailed to a wall.
