THe fIRST IMpoRTaNT HaCK IN THe HISToRy of TypogRapHy

Forget copyrights or trademarks: LaPolice revives the first important hack in the history of typography. Its creator, Mathieu Malherbe Des Portes, simply copied Louis XIVs celebrated Romain du Roi. And what did the police do? Nothing. Malherbe, the sole hallmark punch cutter of all of Paris proper, had in fact trained Phillippe Granjean, the engraver of the font Romain du Roi. Malherbes version carries all of the unique characteristics of the Romain du Roi, such as the new horizontal serifs, sometimes doubled, and the secant L. LaPolice is rounder and more dynamic than its original model it is also more modern and organic. LaPolice is named after a document entitled Trait de la Police (A draft of the font). Franois Rappo designed the revival of LaPolice after the original specimens from the Claude Lamelses foundry in Paris (1742). LaPolice is a contemporary font, dynamic in its balance, with a touch of irony in its references to historic details.
