Author's note

Gentium Book Basic Bold Italic by J. Victor Gaultney and Annie Olsen of SIL International is a free calligraphic serif with a strong rightward slant. Broad strokes taper into fine joins, giving the letters firm contrast and a handwritten pull. Rounded forms keep the texture warm.

Publishers and cultural organizations could use it for book covers, exhibition posters, and literary programs. It feels scholarly, not stiff. Sweeping curves echo pen-and-ink illustration and can become part of literary imagery.
