A means of emphasis that does not have much effect on “blackness” is the use of ''italics'', where the [[text]] is [[written]] in a script style, or the use of oblique, where the vertical orientation of all letters is slanted to the left or right. With one or the other of these [[techniques]] (usually only one is available for any typeface), words can be highlighted without making them stand out much from the rest of the text (inconspicuous stressing). [[Tradition]]ally, this is used for marking passages that have a different [[context]], such as words from foreign languages, book titles, and the like. | A means of emphasis that does not have much effect on “blackness” is the use of ''italics'', where the [[text]] is [[written]] in a script style, or the use of oblique, where the vertical orientation of all letters is slanted to the left or right.
