ABOUT

In 1943, Guillermo de Mendoza started drawings for an incised alphabet a year before his death. His son José used it as an inspiration for his Pascal typeface, for which the origins date back to 1953. The Lettergieterij Amsterdam type foundry from Holland cast for the first time the letters in lead in 1961. Neufville Digital assumed the exclusive rights for digital fonts, in regular, italic and Titling.

Jose Mendoza y Almeida was born in 1926 in the city of Sèvres, Paris. He is a French graphic designer, calligrapher and type designer. He has created fonts like Mendoza, Photina, Pascal, Fidelio and Sully Jonquières. In the 50s he worked with Maximilien Vox, and from 1954 to 1959 he was a assistant of Roger Excoffon within the Olive foundry in Marseille. After working for Lettergieterij Amsterdam, Monotype Corporation or the International Typeface Corporation (ITC), he was professor of typography at the Imprimerie Nationale in Paris from 1985 to 1990.
