Comment:

 > I think in many cases italics are there for hierarchy. We'll want to
 explore alternate ways of establishing hierarchy in these cases.

 > I do realize the importance of hierarchy and would love to see it better
 implemented holistically with a (finally) well established typographic
 system.

 Noting there's now an official proposal to introduce better typographic
 hierarchy in core, see the related post on Make WordPress Design:

 **Proposal: a consistent type scale for WordPress**
 https://make.wordpress.org/design/2019/10/11/proposal-a-consistent-type-
 scale-for-wordpress/

 It would be great for the new type scale to explore new patterns for the
 descriptions so that italics can be removed.
