  1. (typography) oblique type

Usage notes

[edit]
  • 斜体 (shatai) was originally a phototypesetting feature, created with a distorting lens, but now is available in digital typesetting.
  • In Western typography, oblique type only involves skewing glyphs horizontally, while keeping their bottoms still and pushing their tops to the right. In Japanese typography, 斜体 (shatai) allows for more options, such as skewing glyphs vertically or simultaneously vertically and horizontally, pushing the bottoms of glyphs, and adjusting their spacing based on 詰め (tsume).[1]
