George Auriol, born Jean-Georges Huyot (26 April 1863, Beauvais (Oise) – February 1938, Paris), was a French poet, songwriter, graphic designer, type designer, and Art Nouveau artist.

After he arrived in Paris in 1883, Auriol was introduced to typography and book design by Eugène Grasset and became particularly interested in the revival of historical type styles.

Auriol was a member of French bohemian culture, a denizen of the Chat Noir ("Black Cat Café") and long a friend of Erik Satie.

[2] Georges Auriol was part of the Fumist group and learned a great deal from them, both in behavior and in creativity.

Alphonse Allais greatly appreciated his free and ″incoherent″ manner of behavior and wrote several stories about him, one of which was called: ″My friend Georges Ariol″.
