Headline Typeface for Print and Web
The Bodoni revival built for six scripts
Parmigiano Headline is the largest cut of the Parmigiano Typographic System, a Bodoni-inspired family released by Typotheque in 2014. It carries the highest stroke contrast of any cut in the family, with smaller bowls, generous ascenders, and narrow proportions intended for settings above 18 points. The Latin script was designed by Riccardo Olocco and Jonathan Pierini, with separate specialists handling Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Georgian, and Armenian extensions.

Insights
- Optical size differentiation follows historical precedent from Bodoni's era: smaller cuts use enlarged counters, shorter extenders, thickened serifs, reduced contrast, and wider spacing.
- Each weight ships with eight numeral variants — proportional old-style (default), lining, tabular lining, tabular old-style, superior, and inferior — with the default style selectable at licensing.
- Script extensions were handled by dedicated designers: Ilya Ruderman and Irina Smirnova (Cyrillic), Eirini Vlachou (Greek), Yanek Iontef (Hebrew), Akaki Razmadze (Georgian), Ruben Tarumian (Armenian).
- Igino Marini contributed across Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Georgian, and Armenian; Roberto Arista handled engineering for those same five scripts.
