egyptienne

See also: Egyptienne, égyptienne, and Égyptienne

Hungarian

Etymology

Borrowed from French égyptienne (“slab serif”), from the feminine singular of égyptien (“Egyptian”). Named so in the wake of Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, when an intense cultural fascination with all things Egyptian followed. While there was no relationship between Egyptian writing systems and slab serif types, either shrewd marketing or honest confusion led to slab serifs often being called Egyptians.
