Papyrus font

image of the official Papyrus font

Created in 1982 by type designer Chris Costello, the Papyrus font captures the essence of rustic antiquity with its textured, calligraphic style. Straddling the line between a serif and a fantasy font, Papyrus offers irregular edges and a unique, hand-drawn feel that has made it a divisive yet memorable choice in the typography world. Often seen gracing the covers of spiritual books, health food labels, and, famously, the blockbuster film Avatar, this font has earned its place in pop culture.

Here’s a tidbit that I found which font-lovers might find interesting: Papyrus comes pre-installed on all Microsoft computers, making it an easily accessible choice for when you want to add a dash of ancient flair to your documents.

The dowload file below contains two TTF versions of the Papyrus font:
