Faible specimen from Identity Letters

A good-natured humanist sans in six weights with independently drawn italics, distinguished by bulged bowls and a characterful swooping K.

About

Faible is a humanist sans with handwriting-inflected details — notably the ballooned bowls of B, P and R and a curved R leg — that give it a warmth suited to display work on book covers, posters and packaging. Its italics are not sloped romans but independently designed with their own rhythm. The 12-font family ships with over 600 characters, covering ligatures, old-style figures, case-sensitive forms, arrows and tabular figures for more demanding typographic tasks.

Classification

Described explicitly as a humanist typeface with details referencing handwriting, including bulged bowls, a curved R leg, and independently drawn italics with internal dynamic — all hallmarks of humanist sans design.
