1786 GLC Fournier Set OTF Font Family Free Download

This family (six files) was created inspired by numerous documents and books printed in Paris during the end of the 1700s.

Mainly, documents printed by P.G. Simon & N.H. Nyon, “Printers of the parliament” were used for the Normal and italic styles and “Caps”. “Titling” characters were coming from a collection of hymns printed by Nicolas Chart.

In France, these Fournier’s characters, as Baskerville’s in Great Britain, were the most often in use in the late 1700s, just before – and announcing – the Didot’s.

This font supports strong enlargements, especially the capitals of the “Caps” file and “Titling”, remaining very smart, elegant, and fine.
