Death By Bodoni

PeachorPear

Hi hi hi,

New to this forum and a student in graphic design. Currently working on an assignment and desperate to find a newspaper which uses Bondoni as it’s primary font.

Any other Bodoni examples, current or otherwise, would be very much appreciated.

Google isn’t cutting it!

Thanks.

I’m not sure about newspapers, but if you look for the work of Massimo Vignelli and Pentagram (for starters) you’ll find plenty of Bodoni in use.

You won’t likely find Bodoni in the body copy of any newspaper. But it’s still found as headletter in some papers.

The Washington Post is still using a custom headline Bodoni that Matthew Carter designed for them, called Postoni. You can check it out at the Newseum.

Can’t think of any others off the top of my head, but I’m sure others will chime in.
