Font Designer – Joseph Gillé
Joseph Gillé created the font Madame™ in 1820.
Madame first appeared in a sample with similar fonts, presented by the Founderie Typographique Francaise in the 19th century. The font consists of three cuts, letters, accents and numericals. The flamboyant Madame is meant for titles and headlines, emphasis in text or as initials. It combines well with both serif and sans serif fonts, but should be used sparsely to maximize the advantages of its ornate forms.
The characters of Madame were split into various segments due their complexity. This also allows for output at large sizes. A “How to use” pdf file is included.
