As a matter of fact things are more complicated: there are fonts that include
italic variants that are not slanted. Formally for some fonts "it is possible
to have 'upright italic' designs that have a cursive style but remain upright".
In other words, italics is about the letter shape not the slant, even if the
large majority of italic fonts have slanted letters. As an example, Knuth's
Computer Modern has an upright italics. A more modern example is the Literata
font that was commissioned by Google for Play Books.
