When you italicize a word or a phrase, it gets noticed. However, italicized words (typeface that slants to the right) are a bit understated and may not attract the same attention as say, bold or underline. Italics are popularly used to call attention to specific words in a block of text, but there are certain style rules regarding when to italicize.
