ROSETTA STONE Font
Author's note
Rosetta Stone by SpideRaY is a free Egyptian hieroglyph-inspired display font that mixes pictorial signs with sharply drawn script-style forms. Birds, vessels, and upright figures give the lettering an archaeological, carved quality, and changing silhouettes turn each character into a small emblem.
Packaging suits its museum-shop and historical character, especially on educational games and themed food labels. Exhibition posters can turn a title into part text, part artifact. Book covers and classroom materials gain a direct link to ancient Egypt through the recurring birds and ceremonial symbols.
--
This font is for personal use only. It includes two ancient writing systems. The hieroglyphs were normally enclosed in a cartouche. The Greek is modern lowercase and is provided for comparison only. Demotic will be added later.
The source is from the Ptolemaic Period, 196 B.C.
- Height: 114.400 cm maximum
- Width: 72.300 cm
- Thickness: 27.900 cm
- Weight: approximately 760 kilograms (1,676 lb.)
The Rosetta Stone is inscribed in three languages:
- Demotic, the everyday script used for documents
- Greek, the language of the Ionian Greeks and an administrative script
- Hieroglyphs, used for priestly business
A fully kerned, embeddable OTF commercial version of this font is available.
