Simply cast it to an integer:

var intRepresentation = (int)myFont.Style;

If your goal is to work out what style a font is a better approch would be something like this:

var isBold = myFont.Style & FontStyle.Bold; // isBold is 0 if not, 1 if it is
var isItalic = myFont.Style & FontStyle.Italic; // isItalic is 0 if not, 2 if it is
