About Bodoni Moda SC

Bodoni Moda SC is a high-contrast serif family published as the small caps companion to Bodoni Moda. In the specimen thick vertical stems meet hairline serifs with no bracketing, round letters carry their weight on a vertical axis, and a, c, f and r end in ball terminals. The family is a variable font with two axes: weight, from Regular 400 to Black 900, and optical size, from 6 to 96 with a default of 11. Roman and italic each come in Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold and Black, 12 styles in total, held in two variable files of 562 glyphs each. Coverage extends to Western and Central European Latin. Owen Earl designed the Bodoni Moda project under the name indestructible type, and the fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Bodoni Moda SC works

Mastheads and magazine titles

Hairline serifs against heavy stems give a title strong contrast, and the Black weight pushes it further.

Captions and large titles from one family

The optical size axis runs from 6 to 96, so the design can be tuned separately for small print and for display sizes.

Title pages and credits

A small caps family sets names, roles and section labels in capitals of even height.

Pull quotes with italics

Every weight has a matching italic, so a quotation can change voice without leaving the family.

Central European editorial work

Letters for Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian and Turkish are included.

Things to know

Two variable files

The download holds one variable file for the roman styles and one for the italics, each with the weight and optical size axes.

Optical size defaults to 11

Software with automatic optical sizing picks a value from the font size; elsewhere the axis stays at 11 until it is set by hand.

Lowercase keys give small capitals

Typing lowercase in Bodoni Moda SC produces small capitals. The files keep ordinary lowercase letters and swap them for small capitals through an OpenType feature that browsers and layout applications apply by default; software that ignores OpenType features shows the plain lowercase.

Nothing lighter than Regular

The weight axis starts at 400.
