Pierre Haultin (c. 1510 – 1587) was a French printer, publisher,

punchcutter and typefounder.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

He was the nephew of the famous Parisian women printer Charlotte Guillard.[7] As a punchcutter, he may have been trained by Claude Garamont, who worked for Guillard.[7] He started his career as a typefounder, a woodcutter and a bookseller in Paris around 1545.[7]

A

French Calvinist, Haultin left Paris for Lyon and Geneva in 1550, and then ran a printing office in La Rochelle from 1571 to 1587.[8] Haultin engraved many typefaces, including romans, italics, Greek and music type, which were widely used across Europe; his nephew Jerome Haultin lived in London from around 1568 and sold his types there.[9]
