The word “italic” is commonly known as the slatant typographic character, however I recently used the word “italic” referred to people that had lived in the land that now is Italy at that time it wasn’t yet, Romans and Samintes for example.
I couldn’t find out a unique answer for this question, because only a few sites display the meaning I used for this word,
Yes. The vast majority of the time, we use italic and italics to refer to the slant of words in type.
However, they can also refer to anything related to historical Italy. If you search on the internet, you can see examples of Italic peoples, Italic languages, the Italic alphabet, Italic architecture, and types of things that include all aspects of society.
One reference website that might work well for you is Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italic
