Author's note

Cleopatra, designed by P. A. Vannucci of Alphabet & Type, is a free angular display font with a stark geometric build. Its letters are assembled from sharp wedges, open triangles, and abrupt changes in stroke width. The result feels deliberately cryptic and futuristic.

Logo design is its clearest role, especially for electronic music, experimental fashion, or a technology label seeking an emblematic wordmark. On posters and album covers, the triangular openings can echo circuitry, shards, or abstract symbols within the surrounding artwork.

The CLEOPATRA font is taken directly from the film Cleopatra, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and starring Liz Taylor and Richard Burton.
