Thin plain family with deep vertex
Mesveda is a thin plain sans in charcoal on a fine concrete ground: mixed case with a deep M vertex, broad open e bowls, even strokes and flat terminals, set as one line with a plain subtitle beneath.

Sturdy stroke walls and open counters weed cleanly on adhesive vinyl, HTV apparel film, and cut cardstock.
Visual anatomy & craft review
The plate is minimal: one word, one subtitle and a concrete wall behind, and the fine texture of the wall is a fair test of a thin face because the strokes have to hold against a mottled background. The drawing is a thin sans with a deep M vertex and broad open bowls, so the face reads as a modern editorial family rather than as a display, and the open bowls keep it legible at text size. That construction sets a modest size floor and makes the face usable for a heading and a caption from one file. The subtitle beneath is product copy that names the family. Because the strokes are thin and even, the face suits a report, a mark and a menu, and it needs a clean substrate in print.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Mesveda’s stroke geometry.
A thin plain mark reads as considered rather than loud, and the open bowls hold on a card and a drawing sheet at once. The open bowls hold anywhere.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the mark at 16 pt on a card, 85 mm on a wall and 11 pt on a drawing sheet, keeping the thin strokes uncut. Keep one colour and clear space equal to the cap height.
Pre-production check
Check the 11 pt sheet mark, where a thin stroke can break in a plotter print; keep it above 0.2 mm. Confirm the wall mark reads at eight metres and that the vertex stays sharp.
A thin plain sans gives a report air, and the open bowls keep long lines readable at body size. The open bowls keep lines readable.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the body at 10 pt on a 135 mm measure with 1.45 leading, the headings at 24 pt in a heavier weight, and the captions at 8.5 pt. Print one ink on an uncoated stock.
Pre-production check
Check the 10 pt body in a proof, where a thin stroke can break; keep the weight at regular or above. Confirm the captions keep a 4.5:1 contrast and that the measure holds 66 characters.
A thin plain face reads as restraint, and the open bowls keep a long dish name readable on a small card. It reads as restraint.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A5 menu: the courses at 11 pt caps, the dishes at 10 pt, and the date at 8 pt. Keep 22 mm margins, print one ink on a heavy cream card and set the prices flush right on the last baseline.
Pre-production check
Check the 10 pt dishes at arm's length, where a thin stroke can break; keep it above 0.2 mm. Confirm the courses read at table distance and that the card folds flat.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
