Trying Apple Pencil Pro on iPad using Freeform app. Rather impressed by the quality of the tool and how it is comparable to a real calligraphic pen on paper.

Why more narrow and lighter?
— Because it helps differentiation with roman.
Why the Bézier points aren't on extremes on italic?
— It's less crucial than it was in the 90s low screen resolution. And much more adapted to Italic design!

Designing italic cap O in three steps:
1. Narrow them between 88-95% (but see horizontal weight proportionally)
2. Slant here 50% half of the H slant, because it's more easy to refine round letters from that than the font slant.
3. Redraw until it match your required in term of style. Here it's WIP.
