Author's note

Gentium Plus Italic by J. Victor Gaultney, Annie Olsen, and Iska Routamaa of SIL International is a free italic serif font with a distinctly calligraphic cut. Broad capitals carry strong thick-thin contrast and gently cupped serifs. The lowercase forms are fluid with long entry strokes and a sweeping, deep-tailed f.

Its pen-drawn movement complements historical illustration on book covers and museum programs. It also suits editorial features and classical music posters. The italic details recall manuscript and fine-print traditions.
