italic text
Tilted typeface style
Italic text is type that slants to the right, used for emphasis, titles of works, foreign words, or to set text apart from surrounding copy.
In digital contexts, italic formatting is typically achieved with markup or keyboard shortcuts: The ship's name should be in italic text.
