According to this question: Can one typeset latex to look like Bourbaki's books? the font used by Springer to publish Bourbaki's works is a variant of Adobe Minion Baskerville.

However, this font is expensive and I was wondering if any free alternative which look similarly was available; for both maths and text. The uppercase π is particularly important for me.

Suggestions

Baskervaldx

\usepackage[osf]{Baskervaldx} % tosf in text, tlf in math
\usepackage[baskervaldx,vvarbb]{newtxmath} % math italic letters from Baskervaldx
\usepackage[cal=boondoxo]{mathalfa} % mathcal from STIX, unslanted a bit

baskervaldx

The p looks perfect but the ∏ is very different from the original.

Package mathastext with the eulergreek option to use Greek letters from the Euler font gives a result that is similar to what you are looking for, at least for the product symbol.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[osf]{Baskervaldx} % tosf in text, tlf in math
\usepackage[baskervaldx,vvarbb]{newtxmath} % math italic letters from Baskervaldx
\usepackage[italic,eulergreek]{mathastext}
\begin{document}
récurrent sur $p$ le composé $\displaystyle\prod_{i=1}^p x_i$.
\end{document}

  • The line thickness is supposed to be constant, this is what characterizes Bourbaki's ∏. –  Jan 08 '20 at 16:02

    The fdsymbol package has the \prod symbol with uniform line thickness. Try replacing \usepackage[italic,eulergreek]{mathastext} with \usepackage{fdsymbol}. – Sandy G Jan 08 '20 at 19:16
  • A bit narrow and too thick but you are getting close, thank you –  Jan 08 '20 at 21:55
