Italic typeface

Italic typeface is a style of lettering where the characters are slanted to the right, often used to emphasize words or phrases within text. Originating from calligraphy, italics add visual variety and can indicate titles, foreign words, or emphasis without interrupting the flow of reading. They typically have a cursive, flowing appearance, differentiating them from regular upright fonts. Italic fonts can be found in various typefaces and are commonly used in printed and digital materials to guide reader focus subtly and stylishly.
