Specimen Abu Simbel
Note. Specimen of the typeface Abu Simbel. Copyright by Federico Blanco Benítez.

The great temple of Abu Simbel is one of the most beautiful and admired monuments of Ancient Egypt.
Today, it is recognized not only as a monumental architectural achievement, but also as a testament to the accomplishment of those who were able to move this structure stone by stone and preserve it for all eternity.
The goal was to maintain the aesthetic of two typeface families—Baskerville and Human BT—by reconstructing the new typeface piece by piece, without losing the roots that give it its beauty.
