Font help needed (new serifs)

Endre Berentzen

I haven’t used to many serifs in corporate identity’s lately and am a bit rusty when it comes to the newest faces around. Can anyone help me find a beautiful classic serif preferably a new design with a special take on ancient italian styles (not french didot look = too soft and female). Keywords are classical but modern, solid and professional not quirky and charming. I just need to hear what you think are good serifs then I can look them up to see if I find something interesting then maybe I can provide you all with a more specific topic question:-)

“classical but modern”

That’s mostly an oxymoron, but I’ll see what I can do. All released within the last 5 years:

Nicholas
Freight Text
Relato
FF Maiola
Delicato
Fresco
Arnhem
FF Nexus Serif

Good ones Stephen. You might wan’t to reconsider your strict ’Italian’ criteria Endre. But then, what isn’t Italian?
I can add
