Slant (slnt in CSS) is an axis found in some variable fonts. It controls the font file’s slant parameter for oblique styles.
Oblique characters follow the structure of the upright styles, while italics have a different structure, typically informed by cursive writing. Obliques are not necessarily merely digitally slanted – optical corrections are often made to avoid distortions and an incorrect distribution of weight. For variable fonts, the italic axis and the slant axis are very closely related.
In line with the current CSS spec, the four-character code for this axis should be referenced in lowercase (as only the five axes registered in the OpenType format specification should appear in lowercase).
