Normande is the name used by Berthold and Haas for
fat faces that go back to
Fette Antiqua (Bauer, 1850). “A French form of Fat Face,
derived from the British [see Thorowgood]; matrices survive at Berthold
in Berlin.” — Bitstream/MyFonts.
The roman and italic of Berthold’s Normande (before
1926) were first cast in 1860 [by Bauer?]. Berthold registered
Normande in 1935 (roman, italic) and 1954 (schmal)

Haas had Normande neu (roman) and Normande englisch (lighter and condensed) [Wetzig 1926–40]. The former is probably identical to Normande fett (or Normande grasse) as shown in their Alphabete specimen from ca. 1965. Again, there are considerable differences between the sizes.
There are digital versions by Berthold (probably based on their phototype version) and by Bitstream (used for sample) under the name Normande, both with italics. The former additionally includes the Condensed.
