Developed by Monotype for the London 'Observer' newspaper in 1979, News Plantin™ Bold Italic is a more condensed and economical design than the traditional Plantin types. This economy is most apparent in the capitals and bolder weights. Created mainly for use in the British paper's magazine supplement, News Plantin Bold Italic remains strong and legible while allowing for a higher concentration of text on the page.
