I was impressed at the first sight. Accidentally, I found it when I tried to find resources for my last assignment.
Here is some example of this font:
René Albert Chalet was born on April 20, 1923 in Interlaken, Switzeland. His parents affected René in both attitude and interest.
He began his career as a costumes designer in Paris. He achieved some sucesses when he made an effect on the prêt-à-porter clothing market in 1960s and 70s.
He came up with his first font to Deberny & Peignot of Paris in 1944. That font followed by Bahaus style, however it was more modern and valuable when it contained the charming and grotesques of nineteenth century.
However, his font was refused by Deberny & Peignot when they thought this font was associated with "cultural Bolshevists".
Short time later, Max Miedinger created a new typeface which was nearly the same as Chalet's font. Although it was controversial, Miedinger 's font was published by Haas Foundry in Basel, Switzerland, and it was called Neue Haas Grotesk. Not so long later, The Stempel Foundry of Germany paid for Meidinger's font and republished it as the most well-known font all over the world, Helvetica.
The history can not be changed. A remarkable designer was refused his achievement but his contribution was not be able to be forgotten. however, the truth was never hidden and in 2000, House Industries released Chalet type family as recognition talent of forgotten designer - René Albert Chalet.
