Bodoni Classic Ad
Font Family by Wiescher Design
Includes 4 Font Styles from $199
View Purchase OptionsI became interested in designing Bodoni Classic because of a lazy graphic designer at Jacques Damase publishing house. He had to change a single letter on a bookcover about J. B. BODONI. The French call him Jean Baptiste instead of Giambattista! And that unknown graphic designer just took any old ?J? from some newly cut Bodoni.
All the new Bodoni cuts have square serifs, whereas the originals had rounded serifs and slightly concave feet. The single letter ?J? with the squared off serif was for me like a road sign to start redesigning the entire Bodoni family.
That's exactly what I started in 1993 and a dozen years later I am finished. Okay, I am still adding new Bodoni Classics, but those are my personal additions.
Yours very retro, Gert Wiescher
