This isn’t a new typeface, but rather was first used in Italy in 1500, hence the name “italic.” Italics are used for a number of purposes, including emphasizing a word in print. Books, plays, and periodicals are written in italics, as are names of ships, foreign words, and the Latin genus and species names in biology. • Although elephants usually come to mind when the word ivory is mentioned, there are several other tusked mammals, including the walrus, hippopotamus, sperm whale, narwhal, and wart hog.
