Among the examples of modern French lettering, those shown in [78] and [79] are perhaps the most typical of the modern school. This style of letter was given its most consistent form by the joint efforts of M. P. Verneuil and some of the pupils of Eugène Grasset, after whose letter it was originally modeled. Grasset freely varies his use of this form in his different designs, as in [85], but founds many of his best specimens upon the earlier French models.
