Battista was developed by Ingo Preuss and released by preussTYPE. Battista contains 7 styles and family plan choices. p > The BATTISTA typeface stands in the long tradition of the styles developed by Giambattista Bodoni, who made his famous typefaces in the end of the eighteenth century. Similar styles can be found on various specimen books e.g. Alexander Wilson, John Bell, Edmund Fry and Alexander Thibaudeau. One of the finest italics was available by Stephenson Blake & & Co. foundry kind Sheffield, England. In the end of the nineteenth century an unknown punch cutter at the German type foundry Schelter & & Giesecke made a very strong cut of this Bodoni style. He brought both styles, the routine and the italic to a new level of harmony.

Compared to the initial Bodoni develops the brand-new typeface was a lot bolder, which was well taken by the audience in this time. The BATTISTA typeface is an amazing style, assembled of ultra vibrant and really great shapes, but in all, the spirit of Bodonis design was well preserved.

BATTISTA is a timeless display design. The fine information are best revealed on bigger text sizes.
