The Libre Bodoni fonts are based on the 19th century Morris Fuller Benton's ATF design, but specifically adapted for today's web requirements. They are a perfect choice for everything related to elegance, style, luxury and fashion. Libre Bodoni currently features four styles: Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
