About the family


Bauer Bodoni has long been considered one of the most elegant interpretations of the fonts of the original, 18th century, fonts of Giambatista Bodoni. Known for its extreme stroke contrast, vertical stress, and sculptural serifs, Bauer Bodoni has long been associated with fashion magazines and luxury high-end branding.

It has also moved beyond the hard-copy print and established itself as a powerful tool in digital environments. With the rapid growth of Augmented Reality (AR) cosmetics try-on experiences and AI-driven beauty marketing, Bauer Bodoni delivers legibility and luxury across mobile screens, video overlays, and immersive digital campaigns.

From virtual store signage in luxury retail businesses to dynamic packaging previews, Bauer Bodoni’s adaptable style bridges heritage print traditions with cutting-edge digital experiences. It is one of the rare serif families that feels at home in a Vogue magazine spread as it does in a Sephora AR filter.

About Bitstream

Bitstream is known among type enthusiasts and professionals alike as being one of the companies that lead the way towards the democratization of type. For centuries, the type world had been the exclusive domain of skilled typographers who worked large, cumbersome presses. With the birth of digital type though, came a revolution in the industry that enabled Bitstream, one of the first digital type foundries, to help grow the desktop publishing industry. The company’s founders shared a vision in which desktop publishing and digital type would open up doors and allow for the access of previously exclusive typefaces to a broader public audience. Eventually, this idea of opening up the type market led to the development of fonts like Amerigo and New Lincoln Gothic; designs that played huge roles in the launching, and eventual success, of desktop publishing. With best-selling typefaces like Futura in its line up, this library made an enormous impact on the type industry and helped to form it into what it is today.
