About Mistral

Mistral was based directly on French designer Roger Excoffon's own handwriting, a loose running script with a great deal of panache. Although Excoffon's objective was to create a truly 'handwritten' effect style," says Colin Brignall, "in truth his Mistral looks as though it has been written more by brush or by a faintly heavy felt tip." Brignall agreed with designer Phill Grimshaw that a lighter version might look more like handwriting done with a pen than the original did.Grimshaw studied the metal face, and started off the new type by reducing the overall weight uniformly by about 30 percent. The result was lighter, but not satisfactory; the thinner strokes became feeble and tended to disappear when printed at small sizes. So he increased the weight of all the thin strokes to get a more readable face, Mistral Light. But there was one problem. Since Mistral is a script typeface, naturally it can't have an italic, which is often needed to show emphasis. The heavier "bold" original might be used, but it was never designed to look good at text sizes. So Grimshaw added a new set of small caps, in the same weight, for emphasis in text. Since the full cap-height numerals of Mistral would look wrong next to small caps, he also created a set of old-style numerals-which of course can also be used with the lowercase.
