> italic type A sloping typeface that is used for a variety of purposes. It is used to differentiate a piece of text from the main text, which is usually in Roman type. For example, it is used sometimes for the titles of books, newspapers, magazines, plays, films, musical works and works of art, as in "he is a regular reader of The Times", "She reads Private Eye", "Have you read Animal Farm by George Orwell", "He has never seen a production of Shakespeare's Othello", "We went to hear Handel's Messiah", "Mona Lisa is a famous painting". Sometimes such titles are put in quotation marks rather than in italic.• Italic type is also sometimes used for the names of ships, trains, etc, as in "the launch of The Queen Elizabeth II", "She once sailed in The Queen Mary" and "Their train was called The Flying Scotsman".• Italic type is also used for the Latin names of plants and animals, as in "of the genus Lilium", "trees of the genus Pyrus", "Panthera pardus" and "Canis" lupus".• Italic type is sometimes used for foreign words that have been adopted into the English language but have never been fully integrated. Examples include bête noire, raison d"être, inter alia and Weltschmerz.• Italic type can also sometimes be used to draw attention to a particular word, phrase or passage, as in "How do you pronounce formidable?", or to emphasize a word or phrase, as in "Is he still in the same job?"
