Peignot

A.M. Cassandre’s original and trend setting stressed sanserif which mixes capital and lowercase forms. Designed in 1937 with Charles Peignot for Deberny & Peignot, this face has almost become a symbol for France and things French.

Peignot

A.M. Cassandre designed Peignot in the 1930s and the font reflects a feel of the times. It is a product of the New Typography, to which Bauhaus artists like Moholy-Nagy contributed. Peignot’s most outstanding characteristic is found in the lower case alphabet, which is actually composed of a mixture of lower case and upper case forms. Especially popular for advertisements, Peignot makes a unique, experimental impression.
