Bodoni Fragile

by Mario Arturo · Website

Bodoni Fragile takes the classic high-contrast Didone skeleton and runs it through visible decay, with eroded surfaces and rough textures breaking up what would otherwise be pristine hairlines and thick verticals. Designed by Mario Arturo, it keeps the elegance of a traditional Bodoni but adds a layer of wear that feels like old letterpress printing or weathered signage. Best at headline sizes where the tension between refinement and disintegration can really register.
