The Italian designer Antonio Pace created the font Linotype Gianotten™ in 2000. Linotype Gianotten is a new interpretation of the classic Bodoni font. For this adaptation of the modern face, Antonio Pace went back to Giambattista Bodoni’s original punches, kept in a museum in Parma, and reinterpreted the 200-year-old characters for the world of modern digital technology. Rigorous design and the organic, unadorned construction of the individual characters give Linotype Gianotten a contemporary, [...]

It took the Italian designer Antonio Pace more than five years to create Linotype Gianotten™, a successful new interpretation of the classic Bodoni types. To re-draw the 200-year-old characters for the world of modern digital technology, Pace studied Giambattista Bodoni's original punches at the Bodoni Museum in Parma. He felt that previous Bodoni interpretations were not well suited for body texts, so he focused his study of Bodoni's "Manuale Typografico" on the types made specifically for text sizes. Consequently, his Bodoni has strong hairlines, rounded transitions and shorter, fluted serifs - elements that help to achieve readability by providing an overall tranquil effect.
This contemporary, highly readable family is an excellent choice for text settings in books, newspapers, and magazines. Incidentally, the name Gianotten has nothing to do with Bodoni, but was chosen by Pace and Linotype to honor Dutch typographer, Henk W. J. Gianotten.
