Renault

Renault S.A. is a French vehicle manufacturer producing small to upper-midsize cars, vans, buses and trucks.

Typeface

Both the Renault logo and its documentation (technical as well as commercial) had used a specially designed typeface called Renault, developed by British firm Wolff Olins. This type family is said to have been designed not for prestige reasons, but mainly to save costs at a time where the use of typefaces was more costly than it is now.
