About Egyptian Hieroglyphics – Dendera Font Family


Cast your stars like the ancient Pharaohs. Commonly known as the Zodiac of Dendera, this series is based on the symbols found on the roof of the temple at Dendera. It is believed that the Egyptians likely borrowed the signs of the zodiac from the Greeks, possibly in the Ptolemaic period. Containing 52 unique characters, the series includes the 12 zodiac signs, the 30 phases of the moon in its equatorial position, the Gods of the four winds, and the Gods of the five planets of Venus, Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. NOTE: this font comes with an interpretation guide in pdf format.

About Deniart Systems

For Deniart Systems, it all started with a passion and admiration for Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs, a writing system that mystified scholars for hundreds of years with its complexity and beauty. Denise Koehler, a font designer, was equally mesmerized by this ancient writing system and after significant research, developed and launched Deniart's first product, Egyptian Hieroglyphics Volume One in 1993. From there, Deniart continued to expand on the Hieroglyphics series but that was just the beginning an it adopted the company motto of "Fonts that Span the Ages". True to its motto, the library gradually grew to include fonts based on other ancient writing systems like those of the Aztecs & Mayans as well as other pictorial communication glyphs like modern zodiacs and alchemy symbols. Deniart's fonts are used by many academic and advertising institutions and have been used to annotate such publications as The Sacred Tradition of Ancient Egypt and The Sacred Magic of Ancient Egypt by Rosemary Clark.
