Okay, so now it's time for some school-required blogging! Joy! I'm going to be comparing two fonts, and this won't be the last time I do this so... enjoy or something.
In one corner we have Bauer Bodoni, and in the other, Palatino. Now Bauer Bodoni has a notable weight difference between parts of the letters. For example, the lower case "f" has a very thick stem, and a thin arm. Also, Bauer Bodoni is characterized by very straight thin serifs, and a couple ball serifs on the j and f. Palatino is not as quickly recognizable as Bauer Bodoni, although it may be more practical to use for large bodies of text. The weight in the line variation varies more, going from thin to thick in one curve or line, whereas Bauer Bodoni stuck with one weight per curve for the most part. This makes Palatino a more complex, although subtly so, type. The serifs of Palatino vary. For instance, the i, j, and b, have serifs that slope downwards, while v, w, and y have straight horizontal serifs.
