Publisher: Canada TypeKing Tut is a restoration and growth of the initial Egyptian Expanded, a single strong face cut in 1850 by Miller & & Richard, the well-known Edinburgh founders. This visual, though initially issued to help drive easy print advertising of those days, is maybe the longest lasting genre of typeface. This aesthetic flourished in the later part of the 19th century, helped by the rise of comparable faces from England (such as Figgins' Antique 6 and Expanded Antique), and became the specifying index of the old American wild west that continues to this very day.
King Tut provides its impact through a balance in between the wide, compact letterforms and sophisticated curvature that manages to come through even in confined areas. The family's weight range enables more alternatives in counterspace usage along with accuracy in the quantity of curve definition and contrast required by the typographer. The lighter weights entirely oppose that 19th century boldness and expose the alphabet's skeleton in a pursue simpleness that fits modern-day applications.
With generous language assistance to boot, King Tut's varied offerings make it a necessary addition to today's designer repertoire.
