Inspired by Typography


I want to share one of my favorite projects I made in college. We had to design a poster using one font family. I choose the font Bodoni. The typeface known as Bodoni was created in 1790 by an Italian-born typeface designer, Giambattista Bodoni. Bodoni is considered one of the first modern typefaces. It has quite a few defining typographic characteristics, including vertical stresses, vertical emphasis, which creates a strong contrast in the stroke weight. I have always been drawn to Bodoni for its clean and classic lines. This font also alludes to being expensive, and maybe why you can also find this font on the cover of VOGUE.
