Le régime parfait is the first novel by writer and researcher Estelle Benazet Heugenhauser, published by Rotolux Press in 2022. Through an interior monologue and with a cruel sense of humor, the book builds up the portrait of a woman, Madame Perez, who, waiting for her children to come home, remembers scenes from her past.
The book was designed by Léna Araguas and Alaric Garnier and typeset in Berthe (Abyme, 2018). The cover lettering, screenprinted in olive green, is a bespoke, slightly heavier version of Deberny & Peignot’s Caractères Latins Étroits, drawn by the book’s designers.

1 Comment on “Le régime parfait by Estelle Benazet Heugenhauser”
Charles Mazé’s article “Caractères ordinaires” on the Abyme website includes a sample of Caractères Latins Étroits (48 pt), scanned from Deberny & Peignot’s Spécimen Géneral (1926). I’ve posted it here for comparison.
This typeface is also shown in a specimen by the Fonderie Deberny & cie, there in all caps. A digitized copy can be accessed at the Internet Archive. It was most likely published around 1920, not 1886 as noted in the metadata.
