Hanch Italic by Roger White is a free high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic sweep. Broad letterforms lean sharply forward, with fine joins and tapered serifs setting off the darker main strokes. The motion is brisk and assured.
As a polished editorial voice, it suits magazine covers, literary publishing, and fashion branding with a classical direction. Its sweeping forms also suit invitations and cultured event programs aimed at readers who respond to traditional, expressive lettering.
