14-465: Giambattista Bodoni created several variations of his type, and there are many Bodoni revivals. Filosofia is Licko's unique interpretation, referencing "her personal preference for a geometric Bodoni and incorporating such features as the slightly bulging round serif endings which often appeared in printed samples of Bodoni’s work and reflect Bodoni's origins in letterpress technology." Licko studied various versions of Bodoni in her research, everything from

28-517: A new chapter in Zuzana's experimentation (turning toward traditional typefaces); it also generated an unexpected collaboration. Filosofia's announcement poster, "It's their Bodoni" designed by Massimo Vignelli , marked the end of the legibility wars that had divided the design community for much of the 1990s.

84-412: The effects of the letterpress printing process. In a 2002 interview with Rhonda Rubenstein for Eye magazine, Licko explains her interest in traditional typefaces after becoming known for designing radical fonts: My interest in reviving the classics (which began in 1995) was sparked by two factors: the sophistication of personal computer technology, and Emigre magazine’s shift towards theory and

140-481: The original drawings to digital revivals like ITC Bodoni, but drew her typeface from memory rather than from a specific specimen.

This kind of scrutiny, in turn, has given me ideas for faces that are not strict revivals, such as Tarzana and Solex. Filosofia's release in 1996 did not only signify

182-414: Was a welcome surprise to Licko and VanderLans and was almost unbelievable to the design community.

Edenspiekermann, the agency in charge of the branding, performed the transformation by increasing Filosofia's x-height. Due to the tall x-height, they dropped
