Abstract
This paper is based on a dissertation study of the italic, both the writing style and the typographic font. It seeks to understand and define it, while analyzing and describing its history, origin and evolution. We have noted that many important history of design publications have most typographic styles very well defined, but not the italic, regarding its history and definition, and therefore felt the need to study this topic in more depth. For this research we have reviewed relevant literature and observed multiple manuscripts and typefaces. Authors such as Andrew Robinson, Michelle P. Brown, Berthold L. Ullman, James Wardrop and Stanley Morison were essential for a good theoretical foundation. The analysis of manuscripts and typefaces allowed us to verify and exemplify the information that was studied in books and identify with more clarity the characteristics of the italic. With this investigation, we hope to contribute to a better understanding and a good use of the italic style.
