I.... What?! *Reverse* italics? How is that even possible?!

Selection of text where the characters slant to the left rather than the right.

@xgebi @Edent I guess you could wrap each line of text with `<span>…</span>` and then apply something like `transform: skew(15deg)` to them, but it would be a lot easier to use negative oblique angles on `font-style`.

(Not that web devs are especially noted for doing things the easy way.)

Looking through the CSS, the font contains the name "recline".

What a bizarre choice!

@Edent it's a left-handed website. Simple answers. 😁

@Edent got me thinking: in a rtl flow, should italics slant to the left?

@Edent That’s no problem for a variable font.
