More than 200 years after it was invented, the elegant Bodoni typeface is still among the most admired and largely used around the world. Indeed, it is easy to come across the Bodoni font on a daily basis; it is a favorite of high-end fashion labels (think Valentino, Armani, Calvin Klein, Guerlain and Vogue), and is widely used in posters, logos, displays, headlines, and of course books, newspapers and magazines.
So, who is behind it? An Italian by the name of Giambattista Bodoni, who lived between the 18th and 19th centuries, and achieved a "rock star" status in the world of typography at a time when the printing profession was highly regarded.
