While developing locally, I noticed that the italics in the content look like this:
This is the case for the pieces in issue 1 as well:
It doesn't look like a true italic—more like the existing roman upright typeface has been slanted. The typeface used, however (Source Serif Pro?) has a really nice italic style where the e's and f's and other glyphs are redrawn in a more cursive style:
I think it would be nicer if this italic was used—this would require loading in an additional 1 (or more) font files and adding an @font-face declaration to use those files for the italic weights.
Happy to explore making this change myself after I'm doing with the styling for my piece (see #4).
