Barnard Oblique by M. Klein is a free high-contrast italic serif with sweeping curves and a distinctly calligraphic slant. Fine hairlines meet broad, fluid strokes throughout the tall, gently tapered serif lettering. Long entry and exit strokes lend the forms an elegant, lightly theatrical air on the page.
Fashion and literary themes suit its graceful movement, making it a convincing choice for magazine covers, book jackets, invitation design, and boutique branding. It is especially convincing as an expressive publishing title.
