Hi,
Thanks so much for your report!

We have no control over how the user agent/browser handles oblique. If you look at the computed styles, you will see that the browser (chrome) returns italic (even outside of Bricks).

For the purposes of font matching, User agents may treat italic as a synonym for oblique. For user agents that treat these values distinctly, synthesis must not be performed for italic.
