Free Font Friday: Libre Bodoni
by admin | June 2, 2022
Although it’s been specifically adapted for web use, I think Libre Bodoni is best reserved for impactful moments with smaller portions of text. Despite adjustments that might have been made to make certain characters more legible, Libre Bodoni suffers from the same shortcomings as its predecessor. While the extremely thin serifs give it its timeless elegance, they remain an obstacle to readability and at its static weights, Libre Bodoni isn’t great at smaller sizes. You may be able to dial in something that works for you using its variable weight, though.
Libre Bodoni is available in four static weights as well as a variable weight version. You can find it for free here.
