Some publishers (at least some French ones) use the following layout at the beginning of each chapter of a book.

The first line of the first paragraph appears in large font (say Large) with no indentation. The second line is in smaller but still large font (say large) the third line uses the normal font size but blackface. The special layout ends with line 4 (I assume here that the paragraph has at least four lines).

I have tried to devise how this could be achieved but I have only found (nice) things about lettrines.

I do not include a MWE since I have no clue where to begin and my MWE would be useless.

I am including an example of the layout taken from a book publised in 2012.

  this answer deals with the first line only. the documention for the magaz package that it mentions says that "maybe" special formatting might be addressed for the first n lines (but the package is dated 2011). however, the author is still active, and it might be worth asking him.

  @barbarabeeton magaz works well for the first line. I have no clue on what to do for the second or third lines. Does the "maybe" in the documentation means "not for now".

  I have a pretty large collection of French books but I’ve never seen this. Do you have an image you could share, or can you point to a particular publisher’s catalog?
