I have looked at a good number of places that would seem likely to have this and found nothing - I do not think it is commercially available.

¶ Too bad, Smeijers decided not to release this rare attempt to reproduce one of the typefaces cut by Renaissance man Pierre Haultin. It was a real challenge. I hope we get a Le Bé typeface someday too.

BTW what does it look like?

Good point, Hrant, I only have the first edition that was set in Renard. Would love to see a page scan.

¶ Find a first extract from Haultin.

Ran a sample of Haultin through "Find My Font" and Minion Pro Condensed from Adobe came up, interesting.

The Palaeotypography of the French Renaissance is excellent.

¶ Find the visual result.

¶ For instance, the top (cross stroke) of the lowercase "t" is different.

Love those French types. Will have to see if selling the cat will bring in enough to get the book.

You own an ocelot?
