Hi all, does anyone know of a good font similar to Bodini? I’m looking for a nice extended modern style typeface to play with preferable with thick stems

Cheers!

Hi Rus,
1. It’s Bodoni, you Didiot! [sorry, really no offence intended – just couldn’t deny myself that stupid pun ;^}]
2. There are hundreds of different Bodonis
3. Bodoni

… and to add something more tangible:
There is a list with a couple of cool (fat) modern faces in this thread on typographica.org (2nd paragraph).

Didot, Electra, Kepler, maybe Fairfield.

Great thanks for those! I’m sure I’ll find something there as some of those fonts are gorgeous.

And don’t worry, I have my keyboard on my lap when writing this as my head is hung so low with shame with misspelling Bodoni! That’ll teach me not to check what I’ve written! ;-)

Wasn’t Bodini Fred’s competition for Ginger’s affections in Top Hat?
