The two-volume work contains a dazzling array of 142 roman alphabets (with corresponding italics), numerous script and exotic typefaces, and a striking collection of flowers and ornaments. These typefaces and decorative materials were the culmination of more than forty years of devotion by Bodoni to the typographic arts, both in his capacity as printer to the Duke of Parma, and as the owner of his own private press and typefoundry. The son of a master printer, Bodoni held to four principles from which a good typeface derives its beauty: uniformity of design, smartness and neatness, good taste, and charm. At the time of his death Bodoni was working on the first volume of this book, of which only 250 copies of the two-volume set were later published by his widow Margherita. The original book imaged for this digital edition: 13 1/8 x 9 inches (333 x 229 mm)
Grid Paper PDFs Free Online Graph Paper / Grid Paper PDFs Downloadable and very printable, I find these PDFs extremely useful. Tip number one! Though I do return the correct header for a PDF, sometimes Explorer gets confused when downloading... So if you're running Windows, you may need to right-click a link and choose "Save link to disk". Tip number two! Some people may need to turn off the option in Adobe's Acrobat reader "shrink to fit" which may resize the grid slightly to fit your printer's printable area. Tip number three! If you want the hexes aligned with the other edge of the paper, just make your paper size "11 x 8.5" and print the result in landscape mode!
