Mistral SingleLine Font

The “handwriting of the man of the twentieth century” with a ballpoint or a round fiber tip pen in hand… Mistral SingleLine is Roger Excoffon’s iconic script font in a monolinear version, distributed as both an open-paths skeletal font oriented towards CNC (Computer Numerical Control) practices and a classic outline font for print or web usages. Mistral SingleLine proposes a new digital interpretation of the Mistral metal typeface originally published in 1953 by the Olive Foundry (Marseille, France), providing never digitized landmark signs such as the interchangeable «paraphe» / “downstroke glyph” for ff, pp, ss combinations, the ligatures ll, on, qu, st, th and a, e, u finals with longer tails, etc.

Mistral SingleLine offers an extended Latin character set with OpenType features (various stylistic sets, alternate signs, case sensitive punctuation and symbols, new ligatures, contextual alternates and old style figures by default) and an uppercase / lowercase revisited kerning.
