(Introduction) 'Mistral is the surprising new, natural handwriting type, designed by the French artist Roger Excoffon, which brings a fresh note in contemporary scripts. It is named after the wind that suddenly comes down from the Alps to Mediterranean France refreshing its sun-scorched lands. Mistral is immensely useful. Note that the capitals can be used on their own, thus doubling the utility of this face. Mistral is now available from stock on English and American point body, cast in the hardest foundry metal with the utmost precision to comply with the famous Amsterdam standards of top-notch quality. It has no kerns, nothing to break off. The natural wear of the type will never show owing to the rough pencil outlines, a characteristic of the design.'
