Seller's description:

24 pt Bodoni Bold Italic Letterpress Type, 8A, 11a. Capitals, lowercase, punctuation, figures, and ligatures.

All versions of this popular type family are based on the work of Giambattista Bodoni, eighteenth-century Italian master printer generally credited with originating the style of letter known as "modern," featuring mechanical perfection of form and more severe contrast between thick and thin strokes than traditional faces. There have been numerous interpretations of Bodoni's typefaces, but the most popular in America are those drawn by Morris F. Benton for ATF or adapted from his work by other manufacturers. Monotype brought out its own interpretation of Bodoni and Italic in 1911.
