About
Naomi Niez drew Gargantua & Pantagruel from sixteenth-century engravings by Philippe Galle and the printed matter of Christophe Plantin's workshop. It comes as two related families, Gargantua and Pantagruel, each with a Regular and an Italic, for display and text. Named after Rabelais's giants, which suits its old-book warmth.
