Poem Script is a mixed collection of interpretations conjuring a late nineteenth-century American pen script style. Though not an actual Italian letterform, this style was called Italian Alphabet stemming from an old penman's term for an alphabet where the stress or shades are opposite their normal placement. The American variant followed from the late eighteenth-century British Hand, also confusingly called Italian Hand, which evolved from some seventeenth-century French bâtarde scripts.
