I ended up being thinking about creating Bodoni Classic due to the fact that of a lazy graphic designer at Jacques Damase releasing home. He needed to alter a single letter on a bookcover about J. B. BODONI. The French call him Jean Baptiste instead of Giambattista! And that unidentified graphic designer just took any old "J" from some recently cut Bodoni.
All the brand-new Bodoni cuts have square serifs, whereas the originals had rounded serifs and a little concave feet. The single letter "J" with the squared off serif was for me like a roadway indication to begin revamping the whole Bodoni family.
That's precisely what I began in 1993 and a lots years later I am completed. Okay, I am still including new Bodoni Classics, but those are my individual additions.
Yours extremely retro, Gert Wiescher
