DSType: Girga Specimen

Triumphant, vigorous and strong. These were the keywords for the design of Girga, named after an egyptian city in the Sohag Governorate. The power and strength of the egyptian letterforms were balance with a few sans serif forms so the darkness of the text and the fatness of the overall glyphs could be kept. We never intended to design a revival of the nineteen century egyptian typefaces, but we included a series of features that can be found in many wood letters from that era. With five styles divided in Regular, Italic, Stencil, Engraved and Banner, Girga is full features that allow many design possibilities.
