French Old Style revived by De Berny, Paris
1852
Only a few years after the revival of the original Caslon types in England, Alexandre de Berny brought out (in 1852) a sort of French old style letter modelled on earlier fonts, which, to quote an associate of De Berney’s,
belonged to the Latin family of letters—letters characterized by the substitution of more robust—“plus nourries”—lines for the fine lines of the “classic” types.
