This book explores the making and use of the typeface Bodoni. In my writing I discuss the historic context in which it was made, the visual characteristics that distinguish the typeface, ways in which it is used in contemporary design, and its cultural implications. This book is not meant to be read in this format, as I designed it work as an accordion book in order to create interesting juxtapositions and uncanny relationships that can be found in the typeface it features. I've published it here so that all of the spreads can be looked at online.
