Bodoni Classic Swing is another of my decorative additions to Bodoni’s family of typefaces.
Bodoni did not design decorative versions. His quest was for purity in book design. He was purely as a printer who had to cut his own fonts because there simply weren't any foundries in those days.
I think if Giambattista were alive today he would design many decorative typefaces.
Yours molto classico, Gert Wiescher
Willard T. Sniffin designed this extra condensed art deco typeface for American Type Founders in 1932.
Low-waisted capital letters curve in stunning geometric fashion next to large, oversized lowercase letters.
The heart of this classic design is undeniably 1930s but it also looks just fine in contemporary situations. Many of the original alternate characters plus a few new ones have been included in this complete digital version.
