Two handlettered typefaces from J. M. Bergling’s 1914 classic, Art Alphabets and Lettering collided to produce this lively and unusual combination.

The caps were originally called “Morocco”, and the lowercase are taken from his Keramic Text. The result suggested more of an Egyptian flair, in an offbeat kind of way, and so it got its name.

Both versions of the font include 1252 Latin, 1250 CE (with localization for Romanian and Moldovan).
