About
A flared serif designed by Sandrine Nugue for Commercial Type, with an asymmetrical drawing and a distinctive rhythm rooted in classical lettering and Adrian Frutiger's Icone from 1980. Seven weights run from Thin and Light up to Bold, Black and Super with matching italics, holding a comfortable reading texture at small sizes and an assertive personality at display. The balance of black and white and the tension between inside and outside contours gives Moulin a sculptural rather than a calligraphic feel, useful in editorial, identity and packaging work that wants warmth without going fully humanist serif.
