But then I cleave to the minimalist-Tufte-Shaker-Bauhaus school
of graph design.
There are valid reasons for having italics at your disposal.
Traditionally they are used for foreign language words and phrases.
These are common in biology, where many critters are referred to by
their latin titles and these are, by convention, placed in italics.
The names, of course, not the critters, who couldn't care less.
By the way, if it's minimalist, why has it such a long name?
