  Pierre Simon Fournier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre Simon Fournier (September 15, 1712 - October 8, 1768) was a French mid-eighteenth century punch-cutter, typefounder and typographic theoretician, master of the rococo form.
The typefaces that Fournier and successors created had such extreme contrast between thick and thin strokes, that there was a constant risk of the letters shattering.
Fournier's company was carried on after his death, by his widow, and existed until the 19th century.

The Fournier Register is a set of records from the inquisition into heresy run by Jacques Fournier, Bishop of Pamiers from 1318 to 1325.
Prior to Bishop Fournier the local authorities had done little to pursue local heretics, and the region was one of the last areas of France to be home to a significant number of Cathars.
Fournier only very rarely turned to torture to extract information, and when he did so it was generally under explicit orders from his superiors.

The Fournier family by Monotype was based on the types cut by Pierre Simon Fournier circa 1742 and called St Augustin Ordinaire in Fournier's Manuel Typographique.
Fournier based his point system on the French type size called "cicero", which was 0.1648 of an inch, and he divided his cicero into 12 typographical points.
