The name Akhen is a nod to this typographic history, paying tribute to this period and the fascination with Egyptian civilisation. Akhen is a shortened version of the name of Pharaoh Akhenaten. During the French Directory, antiquity was highly fashionable in French art.

Akhen pays homage to French égyptienne typefaces, offering versatility with OpenType features for stylistic combinations and a comprehensive glyph set. Its rigourous design and short serifs make it a great choice for creating visually appealing designs.

I added a site-wide font size slider to the Wakamai Fondue bètà. It will change *all* font previews, even the ones that didn't have a font-size slider before!

Give it a spin and let me know what you think!
