Papier Sans

About

Drawn freehandedly but disciplined enough to read as a lineal, Papier Sans occupies an unusual position between casual mark-making and structured sans-serif. The italic departs more boldly from the roman, adopting an unlinked script movement rather than a simple slant. Three styles make up the family, lending it a quiet, rough-edged character suited to editorial or print work that wants tactility without full-blown script.

Classification

Described explicitly as a humanistic sans-serif; drawn freehand but structured to maintain lineal regularity, placing it firmly in the humanist sans tradition rather than script or display.
