Syntax:
- font-style : normal | italic | oblique
- oblique
- The oblique value slants the characters.
- italic
- If you select the italic value, and it is not available for a particular font, then the oblique value will be applied.
- normal
- The normal value is the default and refers to the characters being upright. By declaring normal, you can ensure that any previous declaration will not effect a selected text.
The font-style property allows you to designate a font to be normal, italic or oblique. This property is inherited.
