egyptienne
See also: Egyptienne, égyptienne, and Égyptienne
Hungarian
Etymology
Borrowed from French égyptienne (“slab serif”)[1], 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.
