History of of History Bodoni Bodoni is a typeface designed by Giambattista Bodoni in 1798. The typeface was the product of 300 years of Roman type design and influenced by the ideas of John Baskerville. The typeface is widely known for it’s contrast between thick stems and fine hairlines. The design is constructed geometically with unbracketed serifs and purely vertical stress. Due to it’s bold characteristics, Bodoni is often used in advertising, however it was initially intended to be used at normal text sizes.
