Free font: French Grotesque

Font "French Grotesque" Notes

    "Grotesque" is one of the most misused words in typography. In
    this case, it has its normal, non-typographic meaning, as French
    Grotesque is roughly based on a series described simply as
    "lettres grotesques" (grotesque letters) shown in a specimen
    sheet issued by the Deberny foundry in Paris in 1910. Deberny
    produced the series as outline and fill fonts for two-colour
    printing in 18 pt., 24 pt. and 36 pt. sizes. A hollow version,
    similar to the outline but with no fill, was available in 10, 12,
    18, 24 and 36 points.

    The specimen sheet shows only a few words in each size. In most
    cases I have followed the design of the letters shown, and I have
    added missing letters and a full Adobe Standard character set.
    Two pairs of ornaments shown in the specimen sheet are in the [ ]
    and { } positions.
