French lettering artist Jos‚ Mendoza y Almeida created his Photina™ Bold Italic specifically for the new phototypesetting technologies emerging in the early 1970s. Published by Monotype in 1971, Photina Bold Italic is a spicy text face with bite, its crisp forms seasoned with calligraphic flavor. Mendoza speaks lovingly of his creation: he says that Photina Bold Italic is ™neither too stiff nor too pretty, neither too stark nor too lovely.™ The design™s strong character combined with Mendoza™s delicate detailing make Photina Bold Italic is a superb text and display choice for books, magazines, and cultural applications.
