Daubenton
Daubenton is an all-caps inscriptional serif by Olivier Dolbeau that revives the engraved letters on the façade of the Great Evolution Gallery at the Natural History Museum in Paris, with wide round letters, small flared serifs, and a tiny-bowled R. It has one weight and no lowercase, so set it for museum signage, titles, and nameplates where the stone-cut capitals read at size.
