What is italic language?

Italics is a style of writing in which the letters lean or slant towards the right. It is often used to emphasize words or phrases, to introduce a foreign word or phrase, to indicate titles of books, movies or other works of art, and to create a distinction between different types of information in a text. Italicized text is usually found in magazines, newspapers, academic journals, and other formal documents. Italic language is also used in handwriting for emphasis and to distinguish titles or works from the rest of the text. In digital media, italicized text can be created using various software programs and text editors.
