Filosofia
Filosofia is a serif typeface designed by Zuzana Licko and released by Emigre Fonts in 1996. It is a revival of Italian type designer Giambattista Bodoni's late eighteenth century typeface, Bodoni. 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 the original drawings to digital revivals like ITC Bodoni, but drew her version from memory rather than from a specific specimen. In selecting the name Filosofia (the Italian word for philosophy), Licko had been looking for something Italian to reflect Bodoni's origins. In a 2002 interview with Rhonda Rubenstein for Eye Magazine, Licko explains her interest in traditional typefaces when she is 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 the subsequent need for text faces to set large bodies of text. Each design gives me the opportunity to study details of classic faces that I’d never fully appreciate or notice through casual observation or usage. For example, working on my Bodoni revival, Filosofia, allowed me to better understand this long-time classic. This kind of scrutiny, in turn, has given me ideas for faces that are not strict revivals, such as Tarzana and Solex.
