Font 1: Times New Roman

Times New Roman was created by Stanley Morison in 1931. Times New Roman came about because Morison was upset about the printing quality of a London daily newspaper “The Times”. “The Times” hired Morison to create a new typeface that he that would look good and this is where Morison came up with Times New Roman which replaced the font Times Old Roman. The reason I chose this font was because of how common it is used and the traditionality of the font. I personally don’t like Times New Roman and tend to find it very boring. A situation where Times New Roman would be used could be when you are writing an essay for school. I have had many teachers in the past use Times New Roman as a requirement for our work.

Font 2: Bodoni The font Bodoni was created by Giambattista Bodoni in 1790 at the palace of Duke Ferdinand of Bourbon-Parma. I chose this font because I like the elegance of the font. I like how the letters of the font have parts of the letter that have thick lines that sharply turn into very thin lines. One scenario this font can be used is for movie posters. The movie “Goodfellas” used Bodoni for their movie poster.
