About CAL Bodoni Casale Font Family


This typeface has been beloved throughout history. Bodoni used it to print his first masterwork, but it has never before been publicly available. Now available for the first time, CAL Bodoni Casale has been painstakingly crafted from hi-res scans of 4 original Bodoni printings.


Unlike many Bodonis drawn from computerized straight lines, this Bodoni follows the original contours of the master himself. With small caps, old style numbers, special options for $, %, £, €, Bodoni Casale allows you to make elegant pricing, sales signs, or logos.


Besides it's authentic origins, Casale's 21st century debut includes Features & Alternates never seen before, including Frankenfont (giving the font 6 fun alternative uses with 1 click!). Other alternates, such as the $ and €, give the user options when styling their work. Various word and letter spacing options are also automatically included so the user can choose to preserve Bodoni's original spacings or go with a more modern look.


The Bodoni for White on Black

Most Bodoni fonts will start to disappear on black. Bodoni Casale’s robust strokes don’t disappear, even when set to smaller sizes. The robust strokes of this Bodoni font also lend visibility and legibility at large sizes with dark background, such as on signage.
