 In October 2017, Costello agreed that Papyrus had become overused.An alternative font published by Elsner+Flake is Papyrus EF Alternatives (or Papyrus EF Regular), providing a slight variation to Costello's font.Its differences include a shorter, sharper capital P, a capital E with a top bar longer than the middle bar, and a swash A. 

Papyrus has been included in many Microsoft programs for Windows.
