Kyroh

Kyroh is an all-caps, sans-serif display font inspired by a vintage luggage label from the National Hotel in Cairo, Egypt (found in the amazing book from Letterform Archive). I riffed off the hand-lettered word “EGYPT” from the label and filled out the rest of the alphabet informed by those five letterforms. I love how wide and chunky the word was lettered, and the simplified G and lowercase-ish Y had me thinking of how the rest of the alphabet might play off of those imperfect, inky, rounded-but-rough shapes. Kyroh comes in three weights: Regular, Medium, and Bold and has our standard extended language support with diacritics and additional glyphs. Plus! A few Egyptian icons based on some of the common hieroglyphics.
