This typeface is a revival, based on a French historical source, Touraine.

A font drawn by Cassandre and Mendoza, released by Deberny & Peignot in 1947. It was meant to supplement the infamous Peignot, drawn by Cassandre and released by the same foundry ten years earlier, with more traditional lowercases. The aim of the project is to update a rather outdated but beautifully drawn font as well as to adapt it for both text and display use.
