Chambord

Released by Fonderie Olive in five styles (1945–51). Strongly inspired by Cassandre’s Peignot (Deberny & Peignot, 1937), but with a more conventional lowercase. Chambord even was the subject of an – unsuccessful – lawsuit for plagiarism, which “may to some extent explain Peignot’s initiative to create ATypI to protect typefaces.” [Devroye] Deberny & Peignot reacted on the instant success of Chambord with the release of Touraine (1947). [Antoine Stevenot]
