New Zen Italic
seriftransitional serifitalic
A seven-weight italic companion to New Zen, designed for use alongside the roman in editorial and text settings.
About
New Zen Italic spans seven weights from Thin to ExtraBold, mirroring the structure of the roman family and intended for use in combination with it. The specimen leans on Old Master painting titles and Latin text to demonstrate legibility across display and text sizes. Sold as part of the broader New Zen collection, which totals fourteen styles across the two subfamilies.
Classification
The display samples and text behaviour suggest a refined transitional serif with upright and italic companions; the italic subfamily is marketed as a distinct but paired companion to New Zen's seven-weight roman range.
