Working at American Type Founders from a Bruce Foundry recutting, Morris Fuller Benton worked out the dramatics of the English Fat Face, and in 1928 produced Ultra Bodoni, a headline spectacular.

Using Benton’s 1933 Ultra Bodoni Extra Condensed, Richard Lipton digitized FB Bodoni Bold Condensed, then took compression even further and designed FB Bodoni Bold Compressed, a real technical tour de force.
