The History Of Bodoni
The Bodoni font was named after its designer, Giamattista Bodoni (1740-1813) who was often revered as the King of Printers.
It is a series of serif typefaces following the ideas of John Baskerville, as found in the printing type Baskerville. It was of increased stroke contrast and a more vertical, slightly condensed, upper case but taking them to a more extreme conclusion. Some characteristics of Bodoni include the square dot over the letter “i”, and a double storey “a”. The capital “Q’s” tail is centered under the figure, and the uppercase “J” has a slight hook. Also, there are two versions of the uppercase “R”, one with a straight tail and one with a curved tail.
Generally, the main identifying characteristic of the typeface is it’s an easily recognizable Romantic typeface with a vertical stress and slight serif bracketing. Being considered one of the first modern typefaces, it is widely used for displays, posters, headlines and logos; especially in the fashion scene.
Bodoni was also part of the modern 18th century fashion that grew for faces with a stronger contrast between the thick and thins, unbracketed serifs, and strong vertical stress, whereas all the older type faces became to be known as old style. Giamattista Bodoni characterized the font by its simplicity and rejected old-style letters by introducing clear and simple type.

When Bodoni was invented, the inventor took inspiration from Baskerville and Didot. Below are the comparisons between these fonts.
