ZX Peignot

Introduced in 1937 Peignot (pronounced Pen-yoe) is a classic font with a distinctive lower-case that consists of mostly restyled capitals. A revival in the 70s and various TV shows through the 80s and 90s, including the first three seasons of Seinfeld, brought it back into the public eye.

I created this font in 2019 in BASIN as an adaptation, and it fits surprisingly well.

This font works great in a variety of scenarios but certainly exudes a classical French style.
