The ITC Bodoni is a revival based on Giambattista Bodoni’s original types. There are three size specific versions – Six, Twelve, and Seventy-two point, Swash Italics for the Seventy-two, and a set of ornaments. Mr. Stone has also digitized a set of Display Figures from Bodoni’s famous Manuale Tipografico of 1818.

Designers

The ITC Bodoni was produced by a team of designers, art directed by Sumner Stone. Holly Goldsmith designed the Six Roman; Janice Prescott-Fishman the Seventy-two Roman; Jim Parkinson the Six Italic; Mr. Stone the Seventy-two Italic, the Swash Capitals for the Seventy-two Italic, and the Ornaments. The Twelve point versions of the family were produced by computerized interpolation between the Six and Seventy-two point versions.
