Francis Thibaudeau (1860, Cholet, France - 1925, Paris) was a French typographer and creater of the first well-established system for classifying typefaces, the Thibaudeau classification. He devised his system while developing the catalogues for the Renault & Marcou and Peignot & Cie foundries in the early 20th century. He worked at Deberny & Peignot from 1921-1925. His book, ''La lettre d'imprimerie'' (The Letter of the Printing Office), was printed in Auriol, a typeface designed by its namesake, George Auriol and reflecting typical Art Nouveau design. In this text, he states clearly his patriotic purpose: "May this work of popularization () inspire interest in the nature of the printed letter and then in the art of its use and applications, () for the greatest profit of the national industry and the triumph of French art."〔xxv.
