Traditionally cut into thin, uniform matchsticks, julienne fries tend to be crisper and are often described as "shoestring fries." This delicate and precise cut is a French favorite, and it's no surprise. For the first documented reference to the julienne cut, look to Francois Massialot's Le Cuisinier Royal et Bourgeoi, 1722.
