Mafra, my debut typeface!
DSType just released Mafra, my debut typeface!
A type family suited both for editorial and corporate design, available in five weights, ranging from Light to Black with matching italics. Mafra is a contemporary typeface with plenty of style, asymmetrical and very dynamic serifs, and pleasent openness and balance.
As always I would love to know what you guys think about it!

This is a beauty. I especially like the lc "g" and "y" in both Roman and italic.
Some italics seem too narrow compared the the Roman. This is nice and round and curvy.

Nice work, Pedro-
Lovely work, with the weights as well. I did notice two things from my quick look: light weight tilde seems a bit heavy, and upper case Q has a floating tail, while ç has connected cedilla; while there is no way to confuse the tail of Q to tilde, it would be logic for them both to connect to base glyph. This is just my opinion.
Overall look of the font is awesome, and I relly liked the fi-ligature.

@dinazina Thanks for the lovely feedback!
The italics have the same proportions as the roman, and i personally i don´t get that feeling. Did you noticed that in any particular character?

Congratulations. Looks great!

I think dinazina meant "some italics [in other fonts] seem too narrow... [but] This [on the other hand] is nice and round..."

@Tomi from Suomi Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I understand your opinion about the Q tail being disconnected.
I decided to keep it that way because it had a direct relationship with some special characters such as the dagger, and as you said the risk of such confusion is really small in this case!
Ps: The italic "Q" has a a more calligraphic feeling and therefore a connected tail!
