True italics are more than just a slanted version of a typeface—they have their own distinct shapes, proportions, and movement. Unlike mechanically skewed obliques, true italics are carefully designed to bring a natural, flowing rhythm to text. In SilkType fonts, italics add personality and contrast, whether used for emphasis, branding, or editorial design. With unique letterforms and refined details, they create a dynamic balance alongside their upright counterparts.
