The right way to BE UNIQUE

Bodoni

 

An alphabet must have five fundamental virtues: regularity, beauty, sharpness, good taste, and grace. The more beautiful a character is, the more regularity, sharpness, good taste, and grace it has

 

Giovanni Battista Bodoni (1740 – 1813)

Anima Linotype

Visible from the outside due to the subtle transparency of the acetate and made to an exclusive Good’s design, it reproduces - with an engraved inscription - the right way to look at things developed from right to left, like the lead lines produced by the traditional Linotype typographic machine, invented in 1886 and defined by Thomas Edison as The Eighth Wonder of the World.

Inspiration

Our Bodoni frame style is inspired by the homonymous typeface designed by Giovanni Battista Bodoni in 1798; it masterfully represents made in Italy and is one of the best-known and best-loved typefaces in the world. Its salient features make it easily recognisable: a strong contrast between thick and thin lines, thin and perpendicular serifs to the primary stroke, and a sober and vaguely austere appearance.

Description

Biocetate: the frame is in Mazzucchelli M49 bioacetate, 100% recyclable and biodegradable, without chemical agglomerates to avoid allergic reactions and its natural origin is also revealed to the touch with a pleasant “warm and silky effect”.

Frame front: Bodoni features a compact and geometric yet not excessively sharp design. The milling enhances colour interplay and the contrast between real and perceived volume. The opaline top interacts with the translucent base in a trompe d’oeil effect that lightens the perceptive weight of the frame by concealing some of its functional elements, such as the bridge, which is partially transparent

Temples: the sail-style temples owe their name to the shape that resembles a rudder tiller. The earpiece temple tip is pierced with an “O” inspired by Good’s branding.

 

Curiosity

The rigour of the proportions Bodoni sought for the font he created for the Duke of Parma made its manufacture particularly complex and costly, which helped to give it a powerful visual impact and refined allure from its earliest versions, earning it a reputation as the font of luxury.
