Sanchez Italic, designed by Daniel Hernandez, is a free slab serif italic with broad, confident proportions. Its sturdy serifs are softened by rounded joins and gently curved legs, giving the letters a friendly printed character. The slant is measured rather than hurried.
Its sweeping curves and substantial horizontal strokes echo vintage sign painting, making it a useful companion to food illustrations on packaging and restaurant menus. The same softened slab details can form a label or badge motif across editorial covers and event posters.
