Bodoni* is designed and maintained by Owen Earl, who is the creator of the font foundry indestructible type*.
Despite the tremendous popularity of Bodoni typefaces, there is currently no digital family without compromises. Bodoni* hopes to change that by being the first ever no-compromises Bodoni family, built for the digital age. This font family includes a full range of weights, italics, an extended character set, OpenType features, and optical sizes, totalling 64 font files. It was made with love and will continue to improve with your support. Visit the website for more information!

I use fontmake to build the finished font files. If for some reason you want to build this font yourself, follow these steps:
Download the complete source code, either by cloning this repository or downloading the .zip file.
Download and install fontmake which can be found here.
To build the variable font run the build.sh script found in the "sources" folder. To build the static run build-statics.sh
