History

In 1926, under the direction of Heinrich Jost, Louis Höll cut the punches for the Bauer typefoundry's version of Bodoni. Bauer Bodoni is closest to the original Bodoni in its proportions and characteristic refinement and delicacy. Bodoni was designed by and named after the prolific Giambattista Bodoni of Parma, Italy, who designed his famous types at the end of the eighteenth century. Bodoni is one of the signifiers of the modern style of type design, with its dramatic difference in thick and thin letter strokes, severe vertical stress, and extremely fine, delicate serifs and hairlines. Bodoni has become a classic text face but the subtlety of the Bauer is especially advantageous when used in large sizes as a display typeface.

Menu Names And Style Linking

In many Windows^® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The italic and the bold weight fonts of the set (if any) are not shown in the font menu, but can still be accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic and bold style buttons. In this family, such programs will show only the following base style font names in the menu:

Bauer Bodoni Std
Bauer Bodoni Std Black
Bauer Bodoni Std Black Cond
Bauer Bodoni Std Bold Cond

The other fonts in this family must be selected by choosing a menu name and then a style option following the guide below.

Menu Name	plus Style Option...	selects this font
Bauer Bodoni Std	[none]	Bauer Bodoni Std Roman
Bauer Bodoni Std	Italic	Bauer Bodoni Std Italic
Bauer Bodoni Std	Bold	Bauer Bodoni Std Bold
Bauer Bodoni Std	Bold, Italic	Bauer Bodoni Std Bold Italic

Bauer Bodoni Std Black	[none]	Bauer Bodoni Std Black
Bauer Bodoni Std Black	Italic	Bauer Bodoni Std Black Italic

Bauer Bodoni Std Black Cond	[none]	Bauer Bodoni Std Black Condensed

Bauer Bodoni Std Bold Cond	[none]	Bauer Bodoni Std Bold Condensed

On the Mac OS operating system, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also select fonts by means of style links. Selecting a base style font and then using the style links (as described above for Windows applications) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe^® PageMaker^® software, although it is unnecessary with more sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator^®, Photoshop^® or InDesign^® software.

One should not, however, select a base font which has no style-linked variant, and then use the bold or italic styling button. Doing so will either have no effect, or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of the base font, which will usually produce inferior screen and print results.
