Maga Book Italic

Maga is a serif typeface designed by the renowned type designer Xavier Dupré, released through TypeTogether. It is characterized by its slightly condensed proportions and a distinctive mechanical feel that balances traditional calligraphic roots with modern construction. The Maga Book Italic weight offers a graceful slant that maintains legibility while introducing a fluid, humanist touch to text-heavy layouts.

The design features sharp terminals and open counters, making it particularly effective for editorial design where space is at a premium. Its sturdy structure allows it to perform well both in printed books and on digital screens. The italic variant is not merely a slanted version of the roman but a redesigned complementary style that adds emphasis and elegance to magazines, long-form articles, and literary works.
