I decided to choose Bodoni for my type screen specimen page as I personally love the classic style of the font.
I was torn between Caslon and Bodoni because I love the traditional aesthetic of both fonts and I think they’re quite similar.
Originally, I was almost going to choose Caslon for my type- screen page as I loved the history behind it.
However, after doing some research on Bodoni, and how its the go-to print in the fashion industry, I immediately knew it was the font for me as I adore fashion.
Bodoni was designed in 1785 by Giambattista Bodoni, who was an innovative printer and type designer in Italy.
I love how many of my favourite clothing brands use this font, which has already given me so many ideas for this project.
The fact that it has been successfully translated and refined for screen use speaks to its timeless and modern characteristics.
Bodoni has withstood the test of time, which is something I greatly admire.
