Mistral
 |
Mistral
was designed by Roger Excoffon, a French leading typographer in the 50's
working for the Fonderie Olive. It is based directly on Roger Excoffon's
own handwriting. As explained by Excoffon the challenge was to «
to keep all the freedom, all the spontaneity of handwriting despite the
rigorous imperatives of casting. ».
Indeed,
the letters of Excoffon are so free that they seem to dance on the page.
Mistral
was a very successful typeface in the 60's. |
