About
Gaulois is based on Scribe, a typeface created by French graphic designer Marcel Jacno and published by Deberny & Peignot in 1937. Jacno, known for his film and cigarette branding work, produced a calligraphic face with a strong, direct character suited to advertising. The outbreak of the Second World War curtailed its international spread, leaving it largely confined to French publications.
Classification
