It was released in several weights and with alternate characters such as swashes, which digitisations have mostly not included.[3] Memphis has an Egyptian name, in reference to the fact that early slab serifs were often called "Egyptians" as an exoticism by nineteenth-century typefounders.[4]{{efn|Although, confusingly, the term was first used to refer to sans-serifs, and the earliest slab-serifs were often called "Antiques".[5][6]}} Memphis and other similar designs were popular in printing during the hot metal typesetting period and several foundries brought out similar designs or direct imitations such as Karnak and Stymie in the United States and Rosmini from Nebiolo in Italy, and (more loosely) Rockwell from Monotype.[7] Digital designs in a similar style include Neutraface Slab and Archer.[8][9][10] Memphis itself has been released digitally by Linotype, who licensed it from Stempel, and by Bitstream in a release including condensed weights under the name "Geometric Slabserif 703".[11][12] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Font Designer: Dr. Robert Wolf|url=https://www.linotype.com/619/rudolf-wolf.html|publisher=Linotype|accessdate=4 October 2016}} {{notelist|30em}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Tam|first1=Keith|title=The revival of slab-serif typefaces in the 20th century|url=http://keithtam.net/documents/slabserif.pdf|publisher=University of Reading (MA thesis)|accessdate=3 March 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Memphis|url=http://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/4273/memphis|website=Fonts in Use|accessdate=4 October 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Frere-Jones|first1=Tobias|title=Scrambled Eggs & Serifs|url=http://www.frerejones.com/blog/scrambled-eggs-and-serifs/|publisher=Frere-Jones Type|accessdate=23 October 2015}} 5. ^James Mosley, The Nymph and the Grot: the revival of the sanserif letter, London: Friends of the St Bride Printing Library, 1999 6. ^{{Citation| url = http://typefoundry.blogspot.com/2007/01/nymph-and-grot-update.html| title = The Nymph and the Grot, an update| last1 = Mosley | first1= James |author-link=James Mosley| date = January 6, 2007| accessdate = June 10, 2014| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20140610132607/http://typefoundry.blogspot.it/2007/01/nymph-and-grot-update.html|archivedate= June 10, 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Sentinel: historical background|author1=Jonathan Hoefler|author2=Tobias Frere-Jones|url=http://www.typography.com/fonts/sentinel/history/|publisher=Hoefler & Frere-Jones|accessdate=15 July 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.christianschwartz.com/neutraslab.shtml|title=Neutraface Slab|authorlink=Christian Schwartz|last=Schwartz|first=Christian|publisher=www.christianschwartz.com|accessdate=October 2, 2011}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.houseind.com/fonts/neutrafaceslab|title=Neutraface Slab|publisher=House Industries|accessdate=October 2, 2011}} 10. ^{{cite web|last1=Earls|first1=David John|title=Archer|url=http://typographica.org/typeface-reviews/archer/|website=Typographica|accessdate=11 July 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/memphis/|title=Memphis|publisher=Linotype}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/geometric-slabserif-703/|title=Geometric Slabserif 703|publisher=Bitstream}} External links
