Philippe Grandjean (in modern French spelled Grandjon) (1666-1714) was a French type engraver notable for his series of Roman and italic types known as Romain du Roi (French: King's Roman). King Louis XIV, in 1692, directed that a typeface be designed at any necessary expense for the exclusive use of the Royal printer. The design was carried out by Grandjean together with a group of mathematicians, philosophers, and others.
