What would an 'of' ligature look like in a typeface in the style of Bodoni or Didot? Since the pair of letters normally doesn't clash and the 'o' in particular has no exit stroke of any kind, how do you imagine the ligation? The crossbar of the 'f' extending backwards to touch the 'o', perhaps?

Yes, good point.
I was thinking of something decorative or with a flourish, maybe italicised.
I'm working on the following piece of type for a client and she's keen to keep the 'of London' in there, but I don't want it to be too prominent compared with the name.
Cheers,
H

Extending the lower loop to the 'o' would be a funny project

I find the lighter "of London" disconcerting. Too close in weight to the original, making it look like an error. Will the client buy changing it to a smaller size, perhaps in a different font? I see it fitting as a tag under the baseline of Bakery, running up to the descender of the y.
