nonitalic

Not slanted text

Nonitalic describes text that is not set in italic type—that is, upright rather than slanted.

The term appears mainly in typographical and design contexts when distinguishing between font styles: The nonitalic version of the font looked too heavy next to the italics.

Also spelled non-italic.
