New Kansas Italic Extra Swashes
A modernised reworking of Cooper Black extended into italic and swash variants across seven weights, with elaborately curling alternate letterforms for decorative headline use.
About
The Italic, Swash and ExtraSwash subfamilies of New Kansas bring ornamental character to a family rooted in Oswald Cooper's rounded, populist serif tradition. Swash cuts introduce flowing alternate letterforms at a restrained level, while ExtraSwash pushes those details further for display settings where warmth and visual personality are the point. Seven weights from Thin to Black make the range workable across a broad span of sizes and contexts.
Classification
Derived from Cooper Black's rounded, heavy serif tradition, New Kansas is a display-weight family with swash variants that signal decorative, expressive intent rather than neutral text use.
