I was bored, so I started working on a pixelated Didone. WIP and maybe I’ll do a smooth version.

Very cool...keep going!

This is a great effort, but it does nothing that Bodoni doesn't already do a lot better.
You should try adding your own elements, tweaks, angles, curves and style to it. A twisted/tweaked version of Bodoni would be more unique, rather than just a simple bit mapped version.

Very promising. Continue...

An exellent achievement. It would be great to see some uppercase also. I agree that once you have finished the set, you will have an awesome platform to experiment with. Here is something i did earlier on in the year with Bodoni, doing some experiments reflecting letters.

Thanks everyone.

djnippa You’re right. This still is a pixelated Didone and thus has a certain character, very similar to Bodoni. I actually designed this from scratch and only compared it to Bodoni afterwards.

Let’s see how this evolves.
