Description: "Ultra Bodoni and its variations are now well established under the Bodoni name, but historically they hardly belonged here, being more closely related to the nineteenth-century English "fat" faces. One reviewer called Ultra Bodoni 'an old Bruce face with a few redrawn characters'. Actually, it was entirely redrawn, but the resemblance is there. The Ultra Bodonis do not have the long ascenders and descenders of other Bodonis, and the transition from thick to thin is more abrupt. ATF's Ultra Bodoni Condensed, drawn by Benton in 1930, is rarely seen bu his Ultra Bodoni Extra Condensed of 1933 has enjoyed some limited use." * Mac McGrew, "American Typefaces of the Twentieth Century", Second Revised Edition, p. 43.
