"Google is testing using the italic font type for the links in AI Mode. So the links have a bit of a slant to them, compared to the other text in the AI Mode response. This was spotted by Gagan Ghotra who posted this screenshot on X: You can see the two links, The Hollywood Reporter and Byrdie are both blue, underlined and italics. I think anything that makes the links more clickable is a good thing."

Google is testing italic font for links in AI Mode, causing links to slant relative to surrounding text. The links render as blue, underlined, and italicized, creating a distinct visual difference from regular response text. A screenshot shows two example links, The Hollywood Reporter and Byrdie, with the new styling. The styling change is likely intended to increase link visibility and clickability. The post containing the screenshot was noted as pre-written and scheduled and included a note about being offline for Sukkot.
