ABOUT







Jean Joseph Barbou

French printer, 1683-1752. The Barbou's had a printing business starting with Jean Barbou, who printed in Lyon in 1539. The Barbou family printing shops remained active until 1808.

There is Monotype typeface named after Barbou, namely the Fournier-genre Monotype 178 Barbou (1925). That typeface is being digitally revived in 2019 by Daniel Benjamin Miller as Regis. A second revival was made by Rory Snow, called Barbou (2021).
