In your opinion, what are the best, nicest, coolest italic serifs out there? I'm trying to look for good alternatives to the usual Garamond, Minion, Didot, etc... Thanks.

I find it interesting that there are so many beautiful sans families being produced and sold so affordably (eg: $30 for 16 OT fonts with nice ligatures and options), but there's not many options for serif typefaces, especially more "classic" styles.

FAENA is lovely. But it's custom :(

that's kind of a wide-open question... for what kind of use? display/headlines? logos? body text?
