Boutique in use on the sleeve of the only release credited to Harmonic Dominos, issued in 1974 on the French Evasion Disques label.

The bold advertising face with the bone-like stems originated in Germany in 1900. It initially went under the name Moderne Reklame and subsequently acquired many different names, by various foundries. It was probably the Swiss Haas foundry that introduced the name Boutique. The version used here almost certainly is the adaptation shown by French phototype provider Hollenstein in their 1974 catalog.
