In otherwords, how fast do you have to push text before wind resistance kicks in and makes the letters bend?

    It’s going to depend on font weight and if it has serifs or not. Serifs are added to increase down force, so flat, heavily serifed letters will italicize before curved letters with fewer extra bits.

    Hope this helps.

      Non-bold/normal weight of course! Have scientists even found examples of bolded italicized text in nature that weren’t man-made?

      Why do the badge names on cars/pickups keep getting bigger and bigger then? Are you telling me cars are getting slower? That would be an outrage.
