Tarnac
Began as a revival of the Turlot foundry's 1905 Égyptiennes Penchées Noires (Black Leaning Egyptian). This particularly French style of slanted Égyptienne, with its wonky proportions and flat-interior bowl shapes, is an intractable aesthetic element of French culture — featured in many of the Panneaux Michelin road signs. The historic signage served as a spiritual beacon for the design.
