A sloping letter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

italic

'a sloping letter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for italic that I've seen before include "more oblique than Roman" , "Printing style used for emphasis" , "not exactly an upright type" , "Principally it" , "Relating to letters sloping to the right" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
