Minérale

Stems reduced to two triangles meeting at a point

Minérale exaggerates the thinned-centre stems of traditional serifs to a geometric extreme: each vertical stem becomes two triangles connected at their tips, producing a clear, almost luminous zone along the letterform's central axis. Heavier weights shift to horizontal stress, echoing historical 'Italian' typefaces. The italic axis ranges from nearly upright (5°) at light weights to 21° in the heaviest. The entire family is multiplexed — all weights share identical widths and kerning — enabling weight-swapping without reflow.

Insights

Stem construction pushes serif tradition to a geometric limit: rather than a flared rectangle, the stem becomes two triangles connected at their tips, creating a clear, almost luminous zone along the central axis.
Italic slant scales with weight — 5° in the lighter weights, 21° in the heaviest.
Full multiplexing across ExtraLight to Black (uprights and italics) means any weight swap leaves text layout unchanged.
