What is the Bodoni Classic Cyrillic font?
One day shortly after Christmas 2004, the art-director of Vogue Moscow called me. Would I maybe make a Cyrillic version of my Bodoni Classic Text typeface?
Well, since I had been thinking about doing it since a long time, this was the perfect reason to finally do it.

Here the fonts are now for all of you: five text cuts, plus one standard roman cut that has no Cyrillic letters but an extra set of medieval numbers. At Vogue they are happy with the fonts, even though I did not quite adhere to Bodoni’s originals in this case.
