(Blind quotation:)
On the topic of refined typography, people who are really interested in nuance should check out The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst or The Form of the Book by Jan Tschichold. There's also timeless information in Eric Gill's Essay on Typography.

Slope Angles of Italics 0.1b, Source: The very world wide web.

Voyager's observation of the steep slope of Linotype's new Univers stimulated me to make a quick survey of other italics in other typefaces.
I scored angled lines on graph tracing paper, then laid the tracing paper over printed printed examples in my type specimen books to determine slope angle.
Here are results of this quick survey:
