Bodoni
Bondoni was designed by Giambattista Bodoni in 1790, he characterised his type with a severe simplicity. He laid out four type principles "from which all beauty would seem to proceed". which were: regularity, cleanness, good taste, and charm. Bodoni then went onto be redesigned, by Morris Fuller Benton, the proceeding redesign is the one which is still currently used today.
"Beauty is founded on harmony, subordinate to the critique of reason."
Distinctive characteristics of this typeface include:
Lower case:
Round dot over the letter i.Double storey a.
Upper case:
The tail of the Q is centered under the letter.The J has a slight hook.
