Tara Medium Italic

Tara Medium Italic is a contemporary serif typeface designed by Lipi Raval and Jonny Pinhorn for the Indian Type Foundry. It belongs to the larger Tara family, which was crafted to bridge the gap between traditional calligraphic roots and modern digital clarity. The Medium Italic weight offers a sophisticated slant that maintains excellent legibility while introducing a sense of dynamic flow and elegance to body text and headlines alike.

This typeface features a tall x-height and sharp, refined serifs, making it particularly effective for long-form reading in editorial design. The italic version is not merely a slanted roman but a distinct design that highlights the subtle influence of broad-nib pen strokes. Its balanced proportions and professional aesthetic make it a versatile choice for high-end branding, magazine layouts, and academic publishing where readability and style are paramount.
