The font-style property allows you to designate a font to be normal, italic or oblique.
 
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.
 
italic
 
If you select the italic value, and it is not available for a particular font, then the oblique value will be applied.
 
oblique
 
The oblique value slants the characters.
 
Code:
p { font-style: normal; }
p { font-style: italic; }
p { font-style: oblique; }
 
or
 
<span style="font-style: normal;">Normal </span>
<span style="font-style: italic;">Italic </span>
<span style="font-style: oblique;">Oblique </span>
 
Output:
Normal Italic Oblique
