: Typeface of “La Maison Tellier” (1929) I am trying to find the typeface used in this edition of La Maison Tellier by Guy de Maupassant published in Paris in 1929 by Louis Conard:

The answer is (I think): Romain du Roi, or Grandjean Corps 20. I looked it up in the following reference: An Introduction to the History of Printing Types, by Geoffrey Dowding, 1961. See page 78, for an illustration of Grandjean Corps 20, which seems to be an exact match.

The font appears to be Romain Text/Romain Headline.

It can be purchased from Swiss Typefaces

The only resemblant I saw is SangBleu Serif. It's a little too thin, but there's no SangBleu Serif Reqular available.



It's sold by Swiss Typefaces. It has been available since 2008, so it probably is an engineered version of that old book font.
