Italics, Cursive, Oblique and other forms of slanting type

The work discusses italic in typography. It records, compares and measures some of the possible formal solutions of italics in relation to its roman version. It does so with regard to the author's approach to digitalization of fonts. At the same time it presents some of the possible types of slant, including formal changes, which happen in their consequences.
