Author's note

Pharaoh is a free Egyptian hieroglyph dingbat font built from simplified figures of birds, animals, and seated people. Each symbol uses firm outer contours with a few internal cuts, echoing the direct, carved appearance of ancient pictorial writing. The drawings are spare and recognizable rather than densely archaeological.

Historical exhibition graphics are its most convincing setting, since the symbols can function as labels, dividers, or illustrated emblems. They also suit museum publishing and educational games. For themed packaging or cultural event branding, the recurring profile poses and animal forms can become part of a coherent Egyptian-inspired identity.
