Researches in the history of composing have proved that the lowercase 'a' is at its origin absolutely nothing however the 'A' shape changed through centuries by scribes up until the innovation of printing. A a great deal of lowercases on the other hand kept their initial shapes. If the scribes' hand didn't find the requirement to simplify them, it is only due to the fact that these letters might be easily written.
Integrating the classical shapes of capitals to the lowercases has already been utilized, keeping the lowercases which are only a contortion of capitals. Nonetheless, the regard of readability enforces to keep ascendants and descendants from conventional lowercases which serve as optical focus points in a text and make reading easier.
The particularity of Pagnol is to use rounded shapes on the top and bottom of pointed capital letters to make them fit with corresponding lowercases (Aa, Mm, Nn, Vv, Ww, Zz). Lowercases proportions are wide, to be in tune with timeless lowercase shapes in order to optimize readability.
Five weights in roman and italic have been created to offer a wide palette of typographic possibilities in all sizes and all paper and screen supports.
