Charles Derriey, (* 17. August 1808 in Moissey, Jura (Departement); deceased 11. February 1877 in Paris), was typefounder, punchcutter and printer in Paris. After his first years of finding out the arts and crafts of typography at Besanaon, he developed in 1839 his own print shop with a rotative printer and other equipment. His work, a typographic work of art, can be discovered in "Gravure et fonderie de C. Derriey: specimen-album (Paris: Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, 6&& 12, 1862). It is popular for his lovely ornaments. The foundry was offered to Turlot on October 1, 1880.
