Fork Italic specimen from MA-MA Type

An italic serif from MA-MA Type, presented through a sparse specimen drawing on a Taoist verse about form and negative space.

About

Fork Italic is the italic companion to MA-MA Type's Fork family, shown here through a minimal specimen built around a passage from the Tao Te Ching. The choice of text, which contemplates the usefulness of emptiness, suggests an intentional relationship between the typeface's forms and the white space surrounding them. Little technical detail is disclosed on the page.

Classification

The page reveals little technical detail, but the specimen glyphs and the foundry's aesthetic suggest a contemporary serif with italic styling. Classified as serif based on the visual evidence of the glyph forms presented.
