About
Panos Vassiliou began examining Bodoni's Manuale Tipografico in 2000, drawing from its script capitals to produce a connected typeface with extra calligraphic flourishes rather than a straightforward digital facsimile. A 2005 revision added ornaments and borders; a later Pro version introduced new glyphs, resolved inter-character conflicts, and expanded each font to 725 glyphs with ten OpenType features including contextual alternates. A bonus frame-parts font, containing 120 elements for constructing decorative borders, accompanies the full package.
Classification
A connected script typeface derived from the script capitals in Bodoni's Manuale Tipografico (1818), with calligraphic flourishes on capitals and matching lowercase italics. Connected characters and contextual alternates place it firmly in the calligraphic script category.
