Lucien Pissarro French type designer, b. Paris, 1863, d. Hewood, 1944, who lived most of his life in England. Son of the painter Camille Pissarro. He designed Brook Type (1903) for his private press (Eragny Press), a typeface named after his house in Hammersmith. It is a Venetian face, with, however, slab serifs on the A and the M. Now owned by Cambridge University Press. He designed Disteltype, a calligraphic roman face, which was cut by E.P. Prince for De Zilverdistel (1918) as a private-press type for the printers in Holland. Brook Type influenced a 1976 design by Adrian Williams, and that in turn led to Steve Jackaman's digital typeface Gargoyle.
