Italic type

Italic type is a style of text where the characters are slightly slanted to the right. It is often used to emphasize words, titles, or specific terms within a text. Italics can also indicate foreign words, thoughts, or names of publications. The slant gives the text a more elegant and distinctive appearance, making it stand out without using bold or underlining. This font style is created either by a special typeface or by digitally slanting standard characters. Overall, italics help guide readers’ attention and add clarity to written content.
