About Alexandria Font Family


Alexandria is the first of the non-Russian fonts I created. It is a Coptic font, inspired by a brush script from Egypt's Hellenic period and a Coptic font designed by Peter J Gentry, a professor of Old Testament. The Copts are Egyptian Christians, and their spoken language is a dialect of ancient Egyptian. Their letters, however, are Hellenized and resemble the Greek Alphabet and do not have any relationship to hieroglyphics. Alexandria comes with full punctuation, a character set for most Western European Latin alphabet languages, and a Modern Greek character set. Being a decorative font, it works best at larger point sizes.

About Simeon out West

I began to create fonts after a long, fruitless, and frustrating struggle to find satisfactory fonts that resembled calligraphy from ancient and mediaval Eastern Orthodox manuscripts. The results of my first efforts were rather clumsy, but as I improved my efforts, I received enough compliments on my fonts that I felt that it was worthwhile to share these fonts with others. I hope they bring you as much pleasure as they do me.
