236 Lean out light

Italic that leans back can be easier if you make it in this Lean Out Light version.  

I've been using this style in my new piece, "The Thousandth Time," to vary the calligraphic texture.  

You can see the whole design above on my Facebook page, taking shape over 11 days of painstaking labor.  

Detail at right: the Lean Back square is just below the metal part of the pen.
