History and overview[edit]
Free Papyrus Font Truetype
Costello created the font in 1982, when he was 23 years old and just out of college. He had been studying the Bible and came onto the idea of what a written font would have looked like in biblical times in the Middle East.[1] He hand-drew the font over a period of six months by means of calligraphy pen and textured paper. Costello described his goal as a font that would represent what English language texts would have looked like if written on papyrus 2,000 years ago.[2] Costello released the font the following year alongside Letraset. Papyrus has a number of distinctive characteristics, including rough edges, irregular curves, and high horizontal strokes in the capitals. ITC, the current owner of the typeface, describes it as an 'unusual roman typeface [that] effectively merges the elegance of a traditional roman letterform with the hand-crafted look of highly skilled calligraphy'.[3] Costello sold the rights for the font for $750, and as of 2017, states he still receives 'very low' royalty payments despite its inclusion since 2000 on all personal computers using a Mac or Microsoft operating system.[1] In October 2017, Costello agreed that Papyrus had become overused.[4]
Variants[edit]

In 2017, the use of Papyrus in Avatar was highlighted in a Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Ryan Gosling.[8][1]
This typeface is also the name of a character in the game Undertale. All of the speech-boxes of the character use the font in uppercase as well. In the game, his brother is named Sans (named after the font Comic Sans) and he also speaks in that font, not in the standard one for the game.
