Italic

Italic refers to a style of text where the characters are slanted to the right, often used to emphasize a word or phrase. This formatting choice helps distinguish certain words from the rest of the text, such as titles, foreign words, or important concepts. Italics can also convey tone or mood, like indicating a thought or a subtle emphasis. The italic style is a standard feature in digital and printed writing, making it easier for readers to interpret the writer’s intent or highlight key information.
