I’m having the hardest time finding a contemporary, somewhat “rugged” Didone. It’s like we just gave up around 2000, now it’s all super delicate florid things, or retro cuts straight from the photolettering books.
So.
Help? Know any Bodoni-likes that feel like the 2020s?

@Sveinbjorn@typo.social I am also partial to Le Jeune from @commercial@typo.social https://commercialtype.com/catalog/le_jeune The temerity of making a Didone stencil text face that *actually works really well in text*! How much more rugged than that do you need? I am still anxiously waiting for the right book to set all body text with this friggin’ gem.
