Gerard Unger's 1984 sans-serif, named for his daughter, draws on handwritten letterforms to produce a casual, expressive face extended to Cyrillic by ParaType in 1993.
About
Originally cut by Hell in 1984 and licensed through ITC in 1989, the design sits at the intersection of sans-serif structure and informal handwritten energy. Its two weights – Medium and Bold – suit a range from personal correspondence to advertising and poster work. The Cyrillic extension was produced at ParaType (ParaGraph) in 1993 by Emma Zakharova and Vladimir Yefimov.
Classification
An informal sans-serif derived from handwritten letterforms, placing it within the humanist tradition despite its casual, expressive character that sets it apart from conventional humanist designs.
