I came across this excellent free Egyptian font today, named Mido. It’s a simple slab-serif font design that can be used in all sorts of design work where a touch of elegance is needed.
Mido is created by Eva Grinder at Konstfack, Stockholm 2007. The font is available in opentype format and free to download. What are you waiting for? Go grab it …
Thanks for the heads-up, Oli.
Looks like a nice one.
errr… egyptian fonts are usually hieroglyphs. this one’s an egyptienne (=serif) font.
This doesn’t seem very Egyptian… plus it doesn’t have any of these characters: #$%^+=\| . Maybe more. I hate it when that happens!
Next time, you should mention that the font is missing quite a few important characters even if the entire alphabet is there, and also say that this is only a test font (which it is…) since we have to wait until 2008 sometime to get the whole thing.
Beautiful little font. Fair enough that it doesn’t come with everything yet, but it’s free – You can’t really complain.
more thanks for good EGYPTion Man
nice font, couldnt download it properly but thanks for the ehads up!
Is there a reason not to have your links open in a new window?
I’ve been following links from your site and losing your site, I wondered if maybe there was a SEO reason for it.
