Authentic Sans
Authentic Sans is a plain grotesque sans that recreates the slightly off Latin letters bundled inside CJK system fonts, with loose spacing and a faintly awkward rhythm. It has one weight, so use it for headlines, captions, and art-world print where its deadpan default-font feel is the idea.
