So back to the topic at hand here.

Gare: I have tried to download the Peignot font from a few sites after searching and I always ran in to copy write issues and why its not included with many graphics programs.
Hi SgtDre—

I used Peignot as an example of how a revived face can look fresh in today's layouts.

Thee things here:

1.) Peignot has been rendered by a number of type houses, not in the least Linotype and Adobe. A genuine, legal copy of the three members of this font family will run you $95 at Fonts.com plus $5/month to use it as a webfont.

2.) There are a number of places that will give you knock-offs for free. The quality is usually dubious and in the zip file, half the time you'll find malware. There are two exceptions I'll vouch for. The first is if you can find an early version of CorelDRAW. Sometimes you can find versions 3 or 5 on Amazon as used for under $50. This will give you "Pignose" or whatever the proprietary name for the font is, plus about 250 other famous fonts that are misnamed. Or try FontSpace, a dubious place, but I went there and a Mr. George Williams created original splines by hand (like Linotype did) so he can claim credit for the fonts and they are (probably) not rip-offs here.

3.) You want to use Peignot on a website, you're probably going to have to buy a license for a webfont.

These are the rules and copyright laws as I understand then, but then again, I'm not a lawyer.

My Best,

Gary
