Modern typefaces, such as Bodoni and Didot have been the quintessential faces of style for nearly 2 centuries. With high contrast, flat serifs, and horizontal stress, this combination exhibits self-confidence and elegance.

Today, Sans-Serif typefaces have actually ended up being the new requirement for the description of modern. Tidy lines, very thin weights, and reasonable types prevail in style and style today. With this in mind, are Modern typefaces like Bodoni still the requirement? Yves Saint Laurent stated: "Styles fade, design is everlasting." Is there a method to move Bodoni forward, while keeping the intrinsic style?

Bodoni Sans moves forward by getting rid of the serifs, while maintaining the high contrast and classy curves. Although, these fonts are more than simply chopping off the serifs. Several cuts of Bodoni were compared, and jointly used as a base. The classical percentages of the capitals and x-heights were preserved, however the letterforms were rebalanced for usage without serifs. Contemporary modifications were made to some widths, as well as an all brand-new Light weight was produced. The letterforms were also crafted with a reductive bezier point approach, for optimal efficiency. Together these updates to the timeless supply a genuinely contemporary look.

High contrast is the crucial function of Bodoni Sans. To maintain this contrast over a wide range of sizes, three optical sizes were drawn: Requirement, Show and Text. Contrast adjustments were produced each optical size for optimal efficiency. The Requirement was designed for the mid series of 12 to 60pt, Show for 48pt and above, and Text for 6 to 12pt.

Web/Digital use was likewise considered while developing Bodoni Sans. The typefaces were evaluated as web formats, and analyzed on a variety of screens, to guarantee seamless usage in both print and digital applications.

Bodoni Sans is a brand-new timeless constructed on the foundation of 2 centuries of history. Fresh and contemporary, while feeling familiar. Trendy and sophisticated, Bodoni Sans is a new Modern.
