In [[typography]], emphasis is the exaggeration of [[words]] in a [[text]] with a font in a [[different]] style from the rest of the text—to emphasize them.

The [[human]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye eye] is very [[receptive]] to differences in brightness within a text body. One can therefore differentiate between types of emphasis according to whether the emphasis changes the “blackness” of text.

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.
