Italic Justification:
In typography, italic type is a cursive typeface based on a stylized form of
calligraphic handwriting. Owing
to the influence from calligraphy,
such typefaces often slant slightly to the right. Different glyph shapes from roman type are also usually used—another
influence from calligraphy. True italics are therefore distinct from oblique type, in which the font is
merely distorted into a slanted orientation. However, uppercase letters are
often oblique type or swash capitals rather than true italics.
This
style is called "italic" for historical reasons. Calligraphic
typefaces started to be designed in Italy,
for chancery purposes. Ludovico Arrighi and Aldus
Manutius (both between the 15th
and 16th centuries) were the main type designers involved in this process at
the time.
"Italics
are the print equivalent of underlining" and typewriter users underlined
words that would normally appear as italics in professionally printed works.
