Roberte
Roberte is a hairline italic drawn freely from the italics of the 16th-century punchcutter Robert Granjon, built from straight strokes with no curves and no roman partner, because, as Eugénie Bidaut puts it, Roberte doesn't need one. It has one weight, post-binary characters, and a fast scratchy line, so set it large for titles, poetry, and posters where its thin strokes stay visible.
