Bodoni Girl: A Golden Tribute To The Typeface

In 1798 Italian typographer Giambattista Bodoni created his now legendary Bodoni typeface, known for its slightly condensed upper case and extreme contrast between thick and thin strokes.

Now, over 210 years later, a seductively flowing poster has been created by designer Andreas Xenoulis using just the forms of his typeface, celebrating not only the original creator of the design, but also the charming flow of the female form. The print shows a beautiful woman with flowing locks of curled hair and a lightly bemused, downward gaze.
