A 1989 Bodoni revival by Alexander Tarbeev for ParaType, spanning seven styles including a condensed cut, a rough variant and a cameo, with Cyrillic support added to the classical Didone model.
About
Drawn at ParaGraph in 1989 and expanded through 1993–97, the family follows Giambattista Bodoni's late 18th-century forms: vertical stress, extreme thick-thin contrast and unbracketed hairline serifs. The seven styles cover text, display and decorative needs, with the Rough and Cameo cuts extending usability beyond conventional settings. Coverage includes Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian and Old Slavonic scripts.
Classification
A Bodoni revival with strong vertical stress, unbracketed hairline serifs and extreme thick-thin contrast – the defining characteristics of the Didone or modern serif classification.
