Oblique
An oblique tip is cut at an angle, which is usually about 15 degrees, normally from top right to lower left. This is called a left oblique. When the angle is from the top left to the lower right it is called a right oblique.
The oblique’s line-width variation is more subtle than the distinct broad down-stroke and narrow cross-stroke achieved with an italic or stub. The broadest stroke for an oblique is on the diagonal, giving your penmanship an understated character.
