New Kansas Italic & Swashes
Italic, swash and extra-swash companions to New Kansas, bringing decorative flourish to a Cooper Black-derived family across seven weights.
About
Three sub-families — Italic, Swash and ExtraSwash — extend New Kansas into ornamental territory, each running from Thin to Black. The swash cuts introduce calligraphic flourishes on key characters, drawing on Oswald Cooper's original swash drawings, with the ExtraSwash variant pushing those details further for headline and display use. All three share the family's rounded, approachable construction, keeping the decorative variants grounded rather than overwrought.
Classification
Derived from Cooper Black's rounded, warm display serif tradition, New Kansas Italic & Swashes extends the family with decorative swash and extra-swash variants suited to expressive, display-oriented use.
