italics
Tilted letter style
Italics is a style of type that slants to the right, used for emphasis, titles of works, foreign words, and other special purposes: The book's title should be in italics.
The term comes from Italy, where the style originated.
While italic describes the style, italics typically refers to text rendered that way: Put that phrase in italics.
